Proverbs 17:24-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

24. Wisdom is directly in front of an understanding person,but the eyes of a fool ⌊are looking around⌋ all over the world.

25. A foolish son is a heartache to his fatherand bitter grief to his mother.

26. To punish an innocent person is not good.To strike down noble people is not right.

27. Whoever has knowledge controls his words,and a person who has understanding is even-tempered.

28. Even a stubborn fool is thought to be wise if he keeps silent.He is considered intelligent if he keeps his lips sealed.
