Proverbs 17:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ The wicked man takes a bribe in secret
    in order to pervert the course of justice.

²⁴ A person with understanding has wisdom as his objective,
    but a fool looks only^[a] to earthly goals.

²⁵ A foolish son brings grief to his father
    and bitterness to his mother.^[b]
