Proverbs 15:20

A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others

¹⁹ The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.
²⁰ A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
²¹ Folly is joy to him who lacks sense,
But a man of understanding walks straight.
