Proverbs 17:17-19
Common English Bible
17 Friends love all the time,
and kinsfolk are born for times of trouble.
18 One with no sense shakes hands on a deal,
securing a loan for a friend.
19 Those who love an offense love a quarrel;
those who build a high doorway invite a collapse.
Proverbs 17:17-19
New International Version
17 A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.(A)
18 One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.(B)
19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
