Proverbs 17:21

19 He who loves transgression loves strife; he who builds his gate high invites destruction.

20 The one with a perverse heart finds no good, and he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.

A man fathers a fool to his own grief; the father of a fool has no joy.

22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

23 A wicked man takes a covert bribe to subvert the course of justice.
