English Standard Version
Proverbs 17:21-25
21He who sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.
22A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23The wicked accepts a bribe in secret to pervert the ways of justice.
24The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.
