Proverbs 17:21-25

He that begetteth
<03205> (8802)

a fool
<03684>

[doeth it] to his sorrow
<08424>_:

and the father
<01>

of a fool
<05036>

hath no joy
<08055> (8799)_.

A merry
<08056>

heart
<03820>

doeth good
<03190> (8686)

[like] a medicine
<01456>_:

but a broken
<05218>

spirit
<07307>

drieth
<03001> (8762)

the bones
<01634>_.

{like: or, to}

A wicked
<07563>

[man] taketh
<03947> (8799)

a gift
<07810>

out of the bosom
<02436>

to pervert
<05186> (8687)

the ways
<0734>

of judgment
<04941>_.

Wisdom
<02451>

[is] before him that hath understanding
<06440> <0995> (8688)_;

but the eyes
<05869>

of a fool
<03684>

[are] in the ends
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_.

A foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] a grief
<03708>

to his father
<01>_,

and bitterness
<04470>

to her that bare
<03205> (8802)

him.
