Proverbs 17:14-16

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁴ ¶ To release the waters (to speak rashly) is the beginning of contention; therefore, leave off strife before it gets started.

¹⁵ ¶ He that justifies the wicked and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

¹⁶ ¶ Of what good is the price to buy wisdom in the hand of the fool, seeing he has no heart to understand?
