Proverbs 17:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Whoever loves to argue loves to sin.
Whoever ·brags a lot is asking for trouble [^Lbuilds a high doorway is seeking a collapse].

²⁰ A person with an ·evil [crooked] heart will find no success,
and the person ·whose words are evil [^Lwho twists matters with their tongue] will get into trouble.

²¹ It is sad to have a foolish child;
there is no joy in being the parent of a fool.
