Proverbs 17:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹ He who loves transgression loves strife;
    he who makes his door high seeks destruction.
²⁰ A man of crooked mind does not prosper,
    and one with a perverse tongue falls into calamity.
²¹ A stupid son is a grief to a father;
    and the father of a fool has no joy.
