Proverbs 17:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ A man void of good sense gives a pledge and becomes security for another in the presence of his neighbor.

¹⁹ He who loves strife and is quarrelsome loves transgression and involves himself in guilt; he who raises high his gateway and is boastful and arrogant invites destruction.

²⁰ He who has a wayward and crooked mind finds no good, and he who has a willful and contrary tongue will fall into calamity.^(A)
