Proverbs 17:21-25

21Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22A cheerful heart brings good healing, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

23A wicked person receives a bribe secretly to pervert the ways of justice.

24Wisdom is directly in front of the discerning person, but the eyes of a fool run to the ends of the earth.

25A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him.
