Proverbs 17:14-16

Darby Translation

¹⁴ The beginning of contention is [as] when one letteth out water; therefore leave off strife before it become vehement.

¹⁵ He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, even they both are abomination to Jehovah.

¹⁶ To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he] hath no sense?
