New American Standard Bible
18 A person lacking in [a]sense (A)shakes hands
And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
19 One who (B)loves wrongdoing loves strife;
One who (C)makes his doorway high seeks destruction.

And one who is [c](E)corrupted in his language falls into evil.

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.
