Proverbs 15:20

A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others

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