22 A happy heart is like good medicine.But a broken spirit drains your strength.
23 A wicked person secretly accepts money to do wrong.Then there will be no fairness.
24 The person with understanding looks for wisdom.But a foolish person lets his mind wander everywhere.
25 A foolish son makes his father sad.And he causes his mother great sorrow.
26 It is not good to punish those who have done what is right.Nor is it good to punish leaders for being honest.
27 The person who has knowledge says very little.And a person with understanding stays calm.
28 Even a foolish person seems to be wise if he keeps quiet.He appears to have understanding if he doesn’t speak.
