Proverbs 17:22

Proverbs Of Solomon

²¹ He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy. ²² A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry. ²³ A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.
