Proverbs 17:18-22 New English Translation (NET)

18. The one who lacks wisdom strikes hands in pledge,and puts up financial security for his neighbor.

19. The one who loves a quarrel loves transgression;whoever builds his gate high seeks destruction.

20. The one who has a perverse heart does not find good,and the one who is deceitful in speech falls into trouble.

21. Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief,and the father of a fool has no joy.

22. A cheerful heart brings good healing,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
