Proverbs 17:24-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁴ A person who knows what is right can easily find wisdom.
    But a foolish person looks everywhere and never finds it.
²⁵ To have a foolish son makes his father sad.
    It makes his mother very upset.
²⁶ It is not right to punish a person who has done nothing wrong.
    It is wrong to beat honest people with sticks.
