14. The beginning of contention [is] a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.
15. Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these [are] an abomination to Jehovah.

17. At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.
