17 A friend loves at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man void of understanding strikes hands, And becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19 He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
20 One who has a perverse heart doesn`t find prosperity, And one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
22 A cheerful heart makes good medicine, But a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, To pervert the ways of justice.
