Verse 17 is found in chapter 18 of Proverbs. The section addresses conflicts and relationships. In a dispute, the first account may seem convincing until the other side responds; this invites caution before judging. Casting lots may settle a dispute in certain contexts, but a verbal offense can separate close friends. The conclusion presents the friend who remains close as something different from simply accumulating relationships.
