A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 17 of Proverbs. These proverbs show the impact of family relationships and verbal conduct. A foolish son brings sorrow and bitterness, while a joyful heart functions like medicine. Bribery corrupts judgment, but discretion is recognized even in the one who remains silent. The conclusion turns prudent silence into an expression of intelligence: whoever controls his words may appear wise precisely because he does not speak unnecessarily.
