Proverbs 17:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 A man lacking a heart of wisdom (A)strikes his [a]hands in pledge
And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
19 He who (B)loves transgression loves quarreling;
He who (C)makes his doorway high seeks destruction.
20 He who has a crooked heart (D)finds no good,
And he who is (E)perverted in his tongue falls into evil.

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

whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
