Proverbs 17:24-26
Legacy Standard Bible
24 Wisdom is in the presence of the one who understands,
But the (A)eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25 A (B)foolish son is a vexation to his father
And (C)bitterness to her who gave birth to him.
26 It is also not good to (D)punish the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
Proverbs 17:24-26

Proverbs 17:24-26
New International Version
24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes(A) wander to the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to the mother who bore him.(B)
26 If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good,(C)
surely to flog honest officials is not right.
