Proverbs 17:24 Context
22A merrie heart doth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. 23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosome, to peruert the wayes of iudgement. 24Wisedome is before him that hath vnderstanding: but the eyes of a foole are in the ends of the earth. 25A foolish sonne is a griefe to his father, & bitternes to her that bare him. 26Also to punish the iust is not good, nor to strike princes for equitie.
