Proverbs 17:24-26

Darby Translation

²⁴ Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁵ A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.

²⁶ To punish a righteous [man] is not good, nor to strike nobles because of [their] uprightness.
