“A rejoicing heart does good to the body, || And a struck spirit dries the bone.”— Proverbs 17:22 (LSV)
19Whoever is loving transgression is loving debate, || Whoever is making his entrance high is seeking destruction.
20The perverse of heart does not find good, || And the [one] turned in his tongue falls into evil.
21Whoever is begetting a fool has affliction for it, || Indeed, the father of a fool does not rejoice.
22A rejoicing heart does good to the body, || And a struck spirit dries the bone.
23The wicked takes a bribe from the bosom, || To turn aside the paths of judgment.
24The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, || And the eyes of a fool—at the end of the earth.
25A foolish son [is] a provocation to his father, || And bitterness to her bearing him.
