16. To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no sense?
17. The friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18. A senseless man striketh hands, becoming surety for his neighbour.
19. He loveth transgression that loveth a quarrel; he that maketh high his gate seeketh destruction.
20. He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.
21. He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow, and the father of a vile man hath no joy.
22. A joyful heart promoteth healing; but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
23. A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the paths of judgment.
24. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
