Proverbs 17:24-26

Authorized (King James) Version

²⁴ Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
    but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁵ A foolish son is a grief to his father,
    and bitterness to her that bare him.

²⁶ Also to punish the just is not good,
    nor to strike princes for equity.
