22 1A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit 2dries up the bones.
23 The wicked accepts 3a bribe in secreta to 4pervert the ways of justice.
24 5The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25 6A foolish son is a grief to his father 7and bitterness to 8her who bore him.
26 9To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.
27 Whoever 10restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
28 Even a fool 11who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
