Strongs On/Off
Context
17:25 A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him. 17:26 It is terrible to punish a righteous person, and to flog honorable men is wrong. 17:27 The truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning. 17:28 Even a fool who remains silent is considered wise, and the one who holds his tongue is deemed discerning.
