Proverbs 17:20-22
English Standard Version
20 (A)A man of crooked heart does not discover good,
and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.
21 He who (B)sires a fool gets himself sorrow,
and the father of a fool has no joy.
22 (C)A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit (D)dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:20-22
New International Version
20 One whose heart is corrupt does not prosper;
one whose tongue is perverse falls into trouble.
21 To have a fool for a child brings grief;
there is no joy for the parent of a godless fool.(A)
