Proverbs 17:18-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. One who lacks sense gives a pledgeand puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19. Whoever loves transgression loves strife;he who makes his door high seeks destruction.

20. A man of crooked heart does not discover good,and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21. He who sires a fool gets himself sorrow,and the father of a fool has no joy.
