Proverbs 17:20-23

View Full Chapter

20One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper; one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.

21To have a fool for a child brings grief; there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.

22A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

23The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.
