"He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction."
— Proverbs 17:19, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.”
“He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction. ”
“He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.”

“He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.”
“The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction.”
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
