Proverbs 17:25-27

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁵ ¶ The foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her that bore him.

²⁶ ¶ It is certainly not good to condemn the just, nor to smite princes for doing that which is upright.

²⁷ ¶ He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
