Proverbs 17:13-17
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 17

13One who returns evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house. 14The beginning of strife is like letting out water, So abandon the quarrel before it breaks out. 15One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. 16Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, When he has no sense? 17A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
King James Version

Chapter 17

13Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 17

13If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never depart from his house.
14To start a conflict is to release a flood; stop the dispute before it breaks out.
15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the just — both are detestable to the Lord.
16Why does a fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?
17A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.
New Living Translation

Chapter 17

13If you repay good with evil, evil will never leave your house.
14Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out.
15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent — both are detestable to the Lord.
16It is senseless to pay to educate a fool, since he has no heart for learning.
17A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
English Standard Version

Chapter 17

13If anyone returns evil for good, evil will not depart from his house. 14The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out. 15He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord. 16Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense? 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
New International Version

Chapter 17

13Evil will never leave the house of one who pays back evil for good.
14Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
15Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord detests them both.
16Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?
17A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
New King James Version

Chapter 17

13Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house. 14The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts. 15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. 16Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, Since he has no heart for it? 17 A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
