Proverbs 17:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ He loves transgression who loves strife,
    and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

²⁰ He who has a deceitful heart finds no good,
    and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

²¹ He who fathers a fool does it to his sorrow,
    and the father of a fool has no joy.
