Proverbs 17:22


Proverbs 17:21 Proverbs 17:22 (KJV) Proverbs 17:23
He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
