Proverbs 17:21-23

Authorized (King James) Version

²¹ He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:
    and the father of a fool hath no joy.

²² A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
    but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

²³ A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom
    to pervert the ways of judgment.
