Proverbs 17:14-16

New Life Version

¹⁴ The beginning of trouble is like letting out water. So stop arguing before fighting breaks out.

¹⁵ He who says that the sinful are right, and he who says those who do right are wrong, both are hated by the Lord.

¹⁶ It does a fool no good to try to buy wisdom, when he has no understanding.
