Proverbs 17:21-25 NIV

[21] To have a fool for a child brings grief; there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool. [22] A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. [23] The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice. [24] A discerning person keeps wisdom in view, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth. [25] A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the mother who bore him.
