Proverbs 17:25-27
New King James Version

25 A (A)foolish son is a grief to his father,
And bitterness to her who bore him.

26 Also, to punish the righteous is not good,
Nor to strike princes for their uprightness.

27 (B)He who has knowledge spares his words,
And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.
