Proverbs 15:20-33 - A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others
20 A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding makes his going straight.
22 Where there is no counsel, plans are disappointed, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!
24 To the wise man the way of life [is] upward, that he may depart from Sheol beneath.
25 LORD will root up the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 Evil devices are an abomination to LORD, but pleasant words [are] pure.
27 He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes shall live.
28 The heart of a righteous man meditates to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
29 LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news make the bones fat.
31 The ear that hearkens to the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who hearkens to reproof gets understanding.
33 The fear of LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor [is] humility.
