Proverbs 17:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Whoever loves to argue loves to sin.
    Whoever brags a lot is asking for trouble.

²⁰ A person with an evil heart will find no success,
    and the person whose words are evil will get into trouble.

²¹ It is sad to have a foolish child;
    there is no joy in being the parent of a fool.
