Proverbs 17:21-25 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

21. Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.

22. A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.

23. A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.

24. The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool--at the end of the earth.

25. A provocation to his father [is] a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
