Proverbs 17:21-25

21He who becomes the parent of a fool [who is spiritually blind] does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool [who is spiritually blind] has no joy.

22A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

23A wicked man receives a bribe from the [hidden] pocket To pervert the ways of justice.

24[Skillful and godly] wisdom is in the presence of a person of understanding [and he recognizes it], But the eyes of a [thickheaded] fool are on the ends of the earth.

25A foolish son is a grief and anguish to his father And bitterness to her who gave birth to him.
