Proverbs 17:25-27
English Standard Version
25 (A)A foolish son is a grief to his father
(B)and bitterness to (C)her who bore him.
26 (D)To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good,
nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
27 Whoever (E)restrains his words has knowledge,
and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Proverbs 17:25-27
New International Version
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to the mother who bore him.(A)
26 If imposing a fine on the innocent is not good,(B)
surely to flog honest officials is not right.
