Proverbs 17:18-22 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

18. A man void of understanding gives pledge, and becomes surety in the presence of his neighbor.

19. He who loves transgression loves strife: and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20. He that has a crooked heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into calamity.

21. He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy.

22. A merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.
