Mishle 17:25-27

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁵ A ben kesil is a ka’as (grief) to aviv (his father), and bitterness to her that bore him.

²⁶ Also to punish the tzaddik is not tov, nor to flog officials for their yashar (uprightness, integrity).

²⁷ He that hath da’as spareth his words, and an ish tevunah (man of understanding) is of a calm ruach.
