Context Reading
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. 24Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding,but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth. 25A foolish son brings grief to his father,and bitterness to her who bore him.
