Proverbs 17:21-25
21A man fathers a fool to his own sorrow; the father of a fool has no joy.
22A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
23A wicked person secretly takes a bribe to subvert the course of justice.
24Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive, but a fool’s eyes roam to the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.
