Proverbs 17:19-21

World English Bible

¹⁹ He who loves disobedience loves strife.
    One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
²⁰ One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity,
    and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
²¹ He who becomes the father of a fool grieves.
    The father of a fool has no joy.
