Proverbs 17:18-20
The Message
Proverbs 17:18-20
The Message
18 It’s stupid to try to get something for nothing,
or run up huge bills you can never pay.
19 The person who courts sin marries trouble;
build a wall, invite a burglar.
20 A bad motive can’t achieve a good end;
double-talk brings you double trouble.
Proverbs 17:18-20
New International Version
Proverbs 17:18-20
New International Version
18 One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge
and puts up security for a neighbor.(A)
19 Whoever loves a quarrel loves sin;
whoever builds a high gate invites destruction.
20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
The Message (MSG)
