Proverbs 17:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.

²⁶ It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.

²⁷ He that setteth bounds to his words. is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
