Verse
Proverbs - ch 17 v 21 - 28
- He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow, and the father of a vile man hath no joy.
- A joyful heart promoteth healing; but a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
- A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom, to pervert the paths of judgment.
- Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
- A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
- To punish a righteous man is not good, nor to strike nobles because of their uprightness.
- He that hath knowledge spareth his words; and a man of understanding is of a cool spirit.
- Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, and he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
