Proverbs 17:15 Context
13Whoso rewardeth euill for good, euill shall not depart from his house. 14The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therfore leaue off contention, before it be medled with. 15He that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust: euen they both are abomination to the Lord. 16Wherfore is there a price in the hand of a foole to get wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it? 17A friend loueth at all times, and a brother is borne for aduersitie.
