Proverbs 17:21-23

American Standard Version

²¹ He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow;
And the father of a fool hath no joy.
²² A cheerful heart ^[a]is a good medicine;
But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
²³ A wicked man receiveth a bribe out of the bosom,
To pervert the ways of justice.
