Proverbs - ch 17 v 21 - 28
- He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy.
- A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
- A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.
- Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.
- A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth.
- To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness.
- He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense.
- Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.
