Proverbs 17:22-27

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.

²⁴The countenance of a wise man is sensible; But the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth.

²⁵A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, And grief to her that bore him.

²⁶It is not right to punish a righteous man, Nor is it holy to plot against righteous princes.

²⁷He that forbears to utter a hard word is discreet, And a patient man is wise.
