Proverbs 17:23-25

Lexham English Bible

²³The wicked will accept a bribe from the lap,
    in order to pervert the ways of justice.
²⁴He who understands sets his face toward wisdom,
    but the eyes of a fool, to the end of the earth.^[a]
²⁵A grief to his father is the child of a fool,
    and bitterness to her who bore him.
