Proverbs 17:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ The discerning person looks to wisdom,
    but the eyes of a fool to the ends of the earth.
²⁵ Foolish children are a grief to their father
    and bitterness to her who bore them.
²⁶ To impose a fine on the innocent is not right,
    or to flog the noble for their integrity.
