Proverbs 17:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ He who has a wayward and crooked mind finds no good, and he who has a willful and contrary tongue will fall into calamity.^(A)

²¹ He who becomes the parent of a [self-confident] fool does it to his sorrow, and the father of [an empty-headed] fool has no joy [in him].

²² A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.^(B)
