Proverbs 17:18
King James VersionSource notes
“A man void of understanding striketh hands, becometh surety in the presence of his friend.”
Context
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both abomination to the LORD.
16Wherefore a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing no heart
17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18A man void of understanding striketh hands, becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21He that begetteth a fool to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
