PROVERBS 17:21-25

²¹He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

²²A merry heart is a good medicine: but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.

²³A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the ways of judgment.

²⁴Wisdom is before the face of him that hath understanding: but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁵A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
