Proverbs 17:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ The person with understanding looks for wisdom.
    But a foolish person lets his mind wander everywhere.

²⁵ A foolish son makes his father sad.
    And he causes his mother great sorrow.

²⁶ It is not good to punish those who have done what is right.
    Nor is it good to punish leaders for being honest.
