Proverbs 17:21-25
21He that begetteth a foolH3684 doeth it to his sorrowH8424: and the fatherH1 of a foolH3684 hath noH3808 joyH8055.
22A merryH3190 heartH3820 is a goodH3190 medicineH1456: but a broken spiritH7307 drieth upH3001 the bonesH1634.
23A wickedH7563 manH7563 taketh a gift outH5186 of the bosomH2436, to pervertH5186 the waysH734 of judgmentH4941.
24WisdomH2451 is beforeH6440 the faceH6440 of him that hath understandingH995: but the eyesH5869 of a foolH3684 are in the ends of the earthH776.
25A foolishH3684 sonH1121 is a grief to his fatherH1, and bitternessH4470 to herH3205 that bare him.
