Proverbs 17:25-27

International Standard Version

²⁵ A foolish son brings grief to his father
    and bitterness to his mother.^[a]

²⁶ Furthermore, it isn’t good to fine the righteous,
    or to beat an official because of his uprightness.

²⁷ Whoever controls what he says is knowledgeable;
    anyone who has a calm spirit is a man of understanding.
