Proverbs 17:21-24 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

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

23. A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the backTo pervert the ways of justice.

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