21. He who brings forth a fool has sorrow for it, And the father of a fool has no joy.
22. A rejoicing heart causes good healing, But a stricken spirit dries the bones.
23. One who is wrong accepts a bribe behind the back To pervert the paths of right-ruling.
24. Wisdom is before the face of the understanding one, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25. A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her who bore him.
