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