Proverbs 17:21-25

21A man fathers a fool to his own grief; the father of a fool has no joy.

22A joyful heart is good medicine,but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
23A wicked man takes a covert bribe1to subvert the course of justice.
24Wisdom is the focus of the discerning,but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son brings grief to his fatherand bitterness to her who bore him.
