Proverbs 17:24-26

The Voice

²⁴ Those who understand look to wisdom for guidance,
    but fools fasten their eyes on some distant horizon.
²⁵ Foolish children irritate their fathers
    and embitter their mothers.
²⁶ Also know this: It is wrong to penalize those who do what is right
    or to lash the noble because of their integrity.
