19 Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin;anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster.
20 The crooked heart will not prosper;the lying tongue tumbles into trouble.
21 It is painful to be the parent of a fool;there is no joy for the father of a rebel.
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
23 The wicked take secret bribesto pervert the course of justice.
24 Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom,but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
25 Foolish children bring grief to their fatherand bitterness to the one who gave them birth.
