Proverbs 17:25-27
International Standard Version
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to his mother.[a]
26 Furthermore, it isn’t good to fine the righteous,
or to beat an official because of his uprightness.
27 Whoever controls what he says is knowledgeable;
anyone who has a calm spirit is a man of understanding.
