Proverbs 17:16-28 ERV

KJV NIV NLT NKJV ESV

Money is wasted on fools. They cannot buy wisdom when they have no sense.A friend loves you all the time, but a brother was born to help in times of trouble.Only a fool would promise to pay for someone else’s debts.A troublemaker loves to start arguments. Anyone who likes to brag is asking for trouble.Crooks will not profit from their crimes, and those who plan to cause trouble will be trapped when it comes.A man who has a fool for a son will be disappointed. A fool brings no joy to his father.Happiness is good medicine, but sorrow is a disease.A wicked judge will accept a bribe, and that keeps justice from being done.Intelligent people think about what needs to be done here and now. Fools are always dreaming about faraway places.Foolish children upset their parents and make them sad.It is wrong to punish an innocent person or attack leaders for doing what is right.Intelligent people choose their words carefully. Those who know what they are doing remain calm.Silent fools seem wise. They say nothing and appear to be smart.
