19 Whoever loves sin loves a quarrel.Whoever builds his city gate high invites destruction.
20 A twisted mind never finds happiness,and one with a devious tongue ⌊repeatedly⌋ gets into trouble.
21 The parent of a fool has grief,and the father of a godless fool has no joy.
22 A joyful heart is good medicine,but depression drains one’s strength.
23 A wicked person secretly accepts a bribe to corrupt the ways of justice.
24 Wisdom is directly in front of an understanding person,but the eyes of a fool ⌊are looking around⌋ all over the world.
25 A foolish son is a heartache to his fatherand bitter grief to his mother.
