Proverbs 15
20 A wise son brings joy to his father, 20 but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly delights a man who lacks judgment, 21 but a man of understanding keeps a straight course.
22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, 22 but with many advisers they succeed.
23 A man finds joy in giving an apt reply— 23 and how good is a timely word!
24 The path of life leads upward for the wise 24 to keep him from going down to the grave.[a]
