Proverbs 17:21-25

21It is painful to be the parent of a fool; there is no joy for the father of a rebel.

22A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

23The wicked take secret bribes to pervert the course of justice.

24Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

25Foolish children bring grief to their father and bitterness to the one who gave them birth.
