Proverbs 17:25 Context

◄ Proverbs 17:25 ►

A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

Context

25A foolish son is a grief to his father
And bitterness to her who bore him.

26It is also not good to fine the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

27He who restrains his words has knowledge,
And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

28Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise;
When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.
