Proverbs 17:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ A true friend is one at all times,
    and a brother is born to render help in time of need.
¹⁸ A man without sense gives a pledge
    to become surety for a neighbor.^[a]
19 One who sows discord enjoys strife,
    and one who constructs a high threshold invites disaster.
