Proverbs 17:23-25

New Living Translation

²³ The wicked take secret bribes
    to pervert the course of justice.

²⁴ Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom,
    but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

²⁵ Foolish children^[a] bring grief to their father
    and bitterness to the one who gave them birth.
