Proverbs 17:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ To begin a quarrel is like unleashing a flood;
    so desist before the quarreling begins.
¹⁵ Absolving the wicked and condemning the innocent
    are both equally abominable to the Lord.
¹⁶ Of what advantage is money in the hands of a fool?
    Can he purchase wisdom if he has no desire to learn?
