Proverbs 17:21-25

21He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.

22A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

23A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back To pervert the ways of justice.

24Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, 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.
