19He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.
20He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
21A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
22A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
23The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
24Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
26It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.
