Proverbs 17:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷ A friend loves at all times,
    and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.
¹⁸ It is senseless to give a pledge,
    to become surety for a neighbour.
¹⁹ One who loves transgression loves strife;
    one who builds a high threshold invites broken bones.
