Proverbs 17:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 It is difficult to stop a quarrel once it has started.
It is like water that pours out of a broken pot. Stop it quickly!
15 If a judge says that a guilty person is not guilty,
the Lord hates it.
If a judge punishes someone who is not guilty,
the Lord hates that too.
16 Money does not help a foolish person,
because he does not want to become wise.
Proverbs 17:14-16
New International Version
14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.(A)
16 Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom,
when they are not able to understand it?(D)
