Proverbs 17:19-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁹ He who loves transgression loves strife;
    he who builds his high thresholds seeks destruction.
²⁰ He who is crooked of heart^[a] will not find goodness,
    and he who is perverse, by his tongue he will fall into calamity.
²¹ He who begets a fool, there is trouble for him;
    the father of a fool will not rejoice.
