Proverbs 15:20-24

A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother.

Foolishness is joy to one who lacks sense, But a person of understanding walks straight.

Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.

A person has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!

The path of life leads upward for the wise, So that he may keep away from Sheol below.
