Proverbs 17:25-27
Revised Standard Version
Proverbs 17:25-27
Revised Standard Version
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father
and bitterness to her who bore him.
26 To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good;
to flog noble men is wrong.
27 He who restrains his words has knowledge,
and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
