24Wisdom is before 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.
26Also to punish the just is not good, Nor to strike princes for equity.
27He that hath knowledge spareth his words: And a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Proverbs 17
