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 that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly.

²² Without counsel plans go wrong: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.

²³ A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

²⁴ The way of life leads above to the wise, that he may depart from sheol beneath.

²⁵ The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the boundary of the widow.

²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubles his own house; but he that hates bribes shall live.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

²⁹ The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

³⁰ The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones healthy.

³¹ The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.

³² He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.

³³ The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.
