Proverbs 17:17 Context
15He that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust: euen they both are abomination to the Lord. 16Wherfore is there a price in the hand of a foole to get wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it? 17A friend loueth at all times, and a brother is borne for aduersitie. 18A man void of vnderstanding striketh hands, and becommeth suretie in the presence of his friend. 19He loueth transgression, that loueth strife: and he that exalteth his gate, seeketh destruction.
