Proverbs 17:21-23

Amplified Bible

²¹ 
He who becomes the parent of a fool [who is spiritually blind] does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool [who is spiritually blind] has no joy.
²² 
A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.^(A)
23 
A wicked man receives a bribe from the [hidden] pocket
To pervert the ways of justice.
