“A man void of understanding strikes hands,and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.”
Proverbs 17:18 (WEB)
Context Reading
16Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,since he has no understanding? 17A friend loves at all times;and a brother is born for adversity. 18A man void of understanding strikes hands,and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor. 19He who loves disobedience loves strife.One who builds a high gate seeks destruction. 20One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity,and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
