Mishle 17:17-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁷ The re’a (friend) loveth at all times, and a brother is born for tzarah (adversity).

¹⁸ Adam devoid of lev [of understanding] shaketh hands in pledge, and becometh the security deposit for his neighbor.

¹⁹ He loveth peysha (transgression, sin) that loveth strife, and he that maketh his threshold high seeketh shever (fracture).
