Proverbs 17:20-23 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

20. One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.

21. To have a fool for a child brings grief;there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.

22. A cheerful heart is good medicine,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

23. The wicked accept bribes in secretto pervert the course of justice.
