Proverbs 17:18-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. A foolish man will clap his hands, when he makes a pledge for his friend.

19. Whoever dwells on discord loves disputes. And whoever exalts his door seeks ruin.

20. Whoever is of a perverse heart shall not find good. And whoever turns his tongue shall fall into evil.

21. A foolish one is born into his own disgrace. But his father will not rejoice in one who is senseless.

22. A joyful soul makes a lifetime flourish. A gloomy spirit dries out the bones.
