Proverbs 17:24-26

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁴ Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding,
But the ^(A)eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
²⁵ A ^(B)foolish son is a grief to his father
And ^(C)bitterness to her who bore him.
²⁶ It is also not good to ^(D)fine the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
