Proverbs 17:23-25
Authorized (King James) Version
23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom
to pervert the ways of judgment.
24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father,
and bitterness to her that bare him.

and bitterness to the mother who bore him.(D)
