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.
