Proverbs 17:17-19

King James Version

¹⁷A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁸A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

¹⁹He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

Proverbs 17:17-19

New International Version

¹⁷A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.^(A)

¹⁸One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.^(B)

¹⁹Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
