19A lover of sin rejoices in strifes;
20and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs;
21and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother.
22A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
23The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.
