Proverbs 17:21-25
21He who 1fathers a fool does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.22A 2joyful heart 3is good medicine, But a broken spirit 4dries up the bones.23A wicked person accepts a 5bribe 6from an inside pocket To 7pervert the ways of justice.24Wisdom is in the presence of one who has understanding, But the 8eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.25A 9foolish son is a grief to his father, And 10bitterness to her who gave birth to him.
