Proverbs 17:21-24 New Living Translation (NLT)

21. It is painful to be the parent of a fool;there is no joy for the father of a rebel.

22. A cheerful heart is good medicine,but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

23. The wicked take secret bribesto pervert the course of justice.

24. Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom,but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
