God’s Word Translation
Proverbs 17:21-25
21The parent of a fool has grief, and the father of a godless fool has no joy.
22A joyful heart is good medicine, but depression drains one’s strength.
23A wicked person secretly accepts a bribe to corrupt the ways of justice.
24Wisdom is directly in front of an understanding person, but the eyes of a fool ⌞are looking around⌟ all over the world.
25A foolish son is a heartache to his father and bitter grief to his mother.
