15. He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteousare both alike an abomination to the Lord.
16. Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdomwhen he has no sense?
17. A friend loves at all times,and a brother is born for adversity.
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.
22. A joyful heart is good medicine,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
