Proverbs 17:21-24 The Message (MSG)

21. Having a fool for a child is misery;it’s no fun being the parent of a dolt.

22. A cheerful disposition is good for your health;gloom and doom leave you bone-tired.

23. The wicked take bribes under the table;they show nothing but contempt for justice.

24. The perceptive find wisdom in their own front yard;fools look for it everywhere but right here.
