Context Reading
19He who loves disobedience loves strife.One who builds a high gate seeks destruction. 20One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity,and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble. 21He who becomes the father of a fool grieves.The father of a fool has no joy. 22A cheerful heart makes good medicine,but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. 23A wicked man receives a bribe in secret,to pervert the ways of justice.
