Proverbs 17:21

Compare all

19 He who loves transgression loves strife,
And ^ahe who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20 He who has a¹ deceitful heart finds no good,
And he who has ^aa perverse tongue falls into evil.

21 He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.

22 A ^amerry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.

23 A wicked man accepts a bribe¹ behind the back
To pervert the ways of justice.
