Proverbs 17:21-25

21He that begetteth a foolH3684 [doeth it] to his sorrow, and the fatherH1 of a vile [man] hath no joy.

22A joyfulH8056 heartH3820 promoteth healing; but a broken spiritH7307 drieth up the bonesH1634.

23A wickedH7563 [man] taketh a gift out of the bosomH2436, to pervert the pathsH734 of judgmentH4941.

24WisdomH2451 is before 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 boreH3205 him.
