Proverbs 17:24-26

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁴ The discerning person focuses on wisdom there before him,
    but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
²⁵ A son who is a fool means anger for his father
    and bitterness for the mother who gave him birth.

²⁶ To punish the innocent is not right,
    likewise to flog noble people for their uprightness.
