In context

14 The beginning of contention is a letting out of waters, And before it is meddled with leave the strife.

15 Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these are an abomination to Jehovah.

16 Why is this--a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, And a heart there is none?

17 At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for adversity is born.

18 A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.

19 Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is making high his entrance is seeking destruction.

20 The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
