In context

13Whoso rewards evil for good, Evil shall not be removed from his house.

14Rightful rule gives power to words; But sedition and strife precede poverty.

— Proverbs 17:15 —

16Why has the fool wealth? For a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. a He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; And he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischiefs.

17Have thou a friend for every time, And let brethren be useful in distress; For on this account are they born.
