12 Let a man meet 1a she-bear robbed of her cubs 2rather than a fool in his folly.
13 If anyone 3returns evil for good, 4evil will not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so 5quit before the quarrel breaks out.
15 He who 6justifies the wicked and he who 7condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.
16 Why should a fool have money in his hand 8to buy wisdom when he has no sense?
17 9A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.
19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who 10makes his door high seeks destruction.
20 11A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.
21 He who 12sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.
22 13A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit 14dries up the bones.
