Proverbs 17:25-27

International Children’s Bible

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.

²⁷ The person who has knowledge says very little.
    And a person with understanding stays calm.
