Proverbs 17:21-28

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.

Also to punish
<06064> (8800)

the just
<06662>

[is] not good
<02896>_,

[nor] to strike
<05221> (8687)

princes
<05081>

for equity
<03476>_.

He that hath
<03045> (8802)

knowledge
<01847>

spareth
<02820> (8802)

his words
<0561>_:

[and] a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

is of an excellent
<03368> (8675) <07119>

spirit
<07307>_.

{an...: or, a cool}

Even a fool
<0191>_,

when he holdeth his peace
<02790> (8688)_,

is counted
<02803> (8735)

wise
<02450>_:

[and] he that shutteth
<0331> (8801)

his lips
<08193>

[is esteemed] a man of understanding
<0995> (8737)_.
