19 Transgression loves him that loves strife, and he that exalts his gate seeks destruction.
20 He that has a perverse heart shall never find good, and he that stirs up trouble with his tongue shall fall into evil.
21 He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow, and the father of a fool shall have no joy.
22 A joyful heart shall do good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
23 A wicked man takes a gift in secret to pervert the paths of judgment.
24 Wisdom appears upon the countenance of him that has understanding, but the eyes of a fool manifest his folly unto the ends of the earth.
25 The foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her that bore him.
