Proverbs 17:25-27
The Voice

25 Foolish children irritate their fathers
    and embitter their mothers.
26 Also know this: It is wrong to penalize those who do what is right
    or to lash the noble because of their integrity.
27 Those with knowledge know when to be quiet,
    and those with understanding know how to remain calm.
