15. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.
16. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, Seeing he hath no understanding?
17. A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.
18. A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.
19. He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
