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.
28Wisdom shall be imputed to a fool who asks after wisdom: And he who holds his peace shall seem to be sensible.
