Proverbs 17:20-22
Christian Standard Bible
20 One with a twisted mind will not succeed,
and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.(A)
21 A man fathers a fool to his own sorrow;
the father of a fool has no joy.(B)
22 A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit dries up the bones.(C)
Proverbs 17:20-22
New International Version
20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
21 To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.(A)
