Proverbs 17:21-25
21He that begetteth a foolH3684 doeth it to his sorrow;And the fatherH1 of a foolH3684 hath no joy.22A cheerful heartH3820 is a goodH3190 medicine;But a broken spiritH7307 drieth up the bonesH1634.23A wickedH7563 man receiveth a bribeH7810 out of the bosomH2436,To pervert the waysH734 of justiceH4941.24WisdomH2451 is before the faceH6440 of him that hath understandingH995;But the eyesH5869 of a foolH3684 are in the ends of the earthH776.25A foolish sonH1121 is a grief to his fatherH1,And bitterness to her that bare him.
