Proverbs - ch 17 v 21 - 28
- A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
- A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
- The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
- Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
- A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
- It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.
- He that setteth bounds to his words. is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
- Even a fool, if he will hold his peace shall be counted wise: and if he close his lips, a man of understanding.
