In context
21And the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; But a wise son gladdens his mother.
22A glad heart promotes health; But the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
— Proverbs 17:23 —
24The countenance of a wise man is sensible; But the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, And grief to her that bore him.
