Proverbs 17:18-24 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

18. A man lacking judgment shakes hands on a deal and puts up financial security for his neighbor.

19. He who loves sin loves strife. One who builds a high gate invites destruction.

20. A perverse heart finds nothing good a devious tongue falls into trouble.

21. Whoever fathers a fool gets grief. There is no joy for the father of a disgraceful son.

22. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

23. The wicked one receives a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.

24. Wisdom is before the person of understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
