Proverbs 17:22-24
International Standard Version
22 A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit drains one’s strength.[a]
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[b] to earthly goals.
