Proverbs 17:17-19
Wycliffe Bible
17 He that is a friend, loveth in all time; and a brother is proved in anguishes.
18 A fond man shall make joy with hands (A foolish person shall clap his hands, or shall rejoice), when he hath promised for his friend.
19 He that bethinketh discords, loveth chidings; and he that enhanceth his mouth, seeketh falling. (He who thinketh up discord, loveth arguments; and he who exalteth his own mouth, seeketh his own downfall.)

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.
