Mishle 17:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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

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

²⁰He that hath a crooked mind findeth no tov, and he that hath a deceitful lashon falleth into ra’ah.

Proverbs 17:18-20

New International Version

¹⁸One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.^(A)

¹⁹Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.

²⁰One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
