Proverbs 17:20 Context
18A man void of vnderstanding striketh hands, and becommeth suretie in the presence of his friend. 19He loueth transgression, that loueth strife: and he that exalteth his gate, seeketh destruction. 20He that hath a froward heart, findeth no good, and he that hath a peruerse tongue, falleth into mischiefe. 21He that begetteth a foole, doth it to his sorrow: and the father of a foole hath no ioy. 22A merrie heart doth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
