Proverbs 17:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous
Are both repulsive to the Lord.^(A)
16 
Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no common sense or even a heart for it?
¹⁷ 
A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
