Proverbs 17:17-19
Complete Jewish Bible
17 A friend shows his friendship at all times —
it is for adversity that [such] a brother is born.
18 He who gives his hand to guarantee a loan
for his neighbor lacks good sense.
19 Those who love quarreling love giving offense;
those who make their gates tall are courting disaster.
Proverbs 17:17-19
New International Version
Proverbs 17:17-19
New International Version
17 A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.(A)
18 One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.(B)
19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
