Proverbs 17:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ A friend loves at all times.
    They are there to help when trouble comes.

¹⁸ A person who has no sense agrees to pay what other people owe.
    It isn’t wise to promise to pay other people’s bills.

¹⁹ The one who loves to argue loves to sin.
    The one who builds a high gate is just asking to be destroyed.
