Proverbs 17:21-25

²¹Whoever is the parent of a fool brings grief to himself; and the father of a fool has no joy.

²²A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

²³A wicked man accepts a secret bribe to pervert the ways of justice.

²⁴The one who has understanding sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are set on the ends of the earth.

²⁵A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to the woman who bore him.
