Proverbs 17
17:16
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, Seeing he hath no understanding?
17:18
A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.
17:19
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
17:27
He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
