Proverbs 17:23

Compare all

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.

24 ^aWisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding,
But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 A ^afoolish son is a grief to his father,
And bitterness to her who bore him.
