Proverbs 17:23-25
New International Reader's Version
23 Anyone who does wrong accepts favors in secret.
Then they turn what is right into what is wrong.
24 Anyone who understands what is right keeps wisdom in view.
But the eyes of a foolish person look everywhere else.
25 A foolish child makes his father sad
and his mother sorry.
Proverbs 17:23-25
New International Version
24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes(C) wander to the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to the mother who bore him.(D)
