Proverbs 17:15-17

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous —
    both alike are an abomination to Adonai.

¹⁶ Why would a fool wish to pay for wisdom
    when he has no desire to learn?

¹⁷ A friend shows his friendship at all times —
    it is for adversity that [such] a brother is born.
