Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁸ A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour. ¹⁹ The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction. ²⁰ Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble.
