Proverbs 17:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴ A person with understanding has wisdom as his objective,
    but a fool looks only^[a] to earthly goals.

²⁵ A foolish son brings grief to his father
    and bitterness to his mother.^[b]

²⁶ Furthermore, it isn’t good to fine the righteous,
    or to beat an official because of his uprightness.
