Proverbs 17:24-26

New International Version

²⁴ A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
    but a fool’s eyes^(A) wander to the ends of the earth.

²⁵ A foolish son brings grief to his father
    and bitterness to the mother who bore him.^(B)

²⁶ If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good,^(C)
    surely to flog honest officials is not right.
