Proverbs 17:14-16
Names of God Bible
14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
so stop before the argument gets out of control.
15 Whoever approves of wicked people
and whoever condemns righteous people
is disgusting to Yahweh.
16 Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom
when he doesn’t have a mind to grasp anything?
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)
