20The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.
21Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.
22A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.
23A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
24The face of the intelligent is to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool — at the end of the earth.
25A provocation to his father is a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
26Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.
27One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper is a man of understanding.
28Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!
