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.
26. Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles for uprightness.
