21 Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the father of a fool rejoiceth not.
22 A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten spirit drieth the bone.
23 A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside the paths of judgment.
24 The face of the intelligent 'is' to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool -- at the end of the earth.
25 A provocation to his father 'is' a foolish son, And bitterness to her that bare him.
