Proverbs 17:23
Berean Standard Bible
A wicked man takes a covert bribe * to subvert the course of justice.
Context
21A man fathers a fool to his own grief;
the father of a fool has no joy. 22A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit dries up the bones. 23A wicked man takes a covert bribe *
to subvert the course of justice. 24Wisdom is the focus of the discerning,
but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth. 25A foolish son brings grief to his father
and bitterness to her who bore him.
