Proverbs 17:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ A man of understanding sets skillful and godly Wisdom before his face, but the eyes of a [self-confident] fool are on the ends of the earth.

²⁵ A self-confident and foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

²⁶ Also, to punish or fine the righteous is not good, nor to smite the noble for their uprightness.
