21A man fathersH3205 a foolH3684 to his own griefH8424; the fatherH1 of a foolH5036 has noH3808 joyH8055.

24WisdomH2451 is the focusH854H6440 of the discerningH995,but the eyesH5869 of a foolH3684 wander to the endsH7097 of the earthH776.
25A foolishH3684 sonH1121 brings griefH3708 to his fatherH1and bitternessH4470 to her who bore himH3205.
