¹²Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

Proverbs 17:12

New International Version

¹²Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than a fool bent on folly.^(A)

²¹He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

²¹To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.^(A)
