Proverbs 17:25


← Proverbs 17:24 Proverbs 17:25 (KJV) Proverbs 17:26 →
Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.
Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
