Proverbs 15:20-33 - A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others
20 A child of wisdom will make a father glad, but a {foolish person}, he despises his mother.
21 Folly is a joy to him who lacks {sense}, and a person of understanding {will walk upright}.
22 Plans go wrong when there is no counsel, but with many advisors it will succeed.
23 Joy [belongs] to a man with answers in his mouth, and a word in its time, how good [it is]!
24 The path of life [leads] upward for him who has insight, in order to turn away from Sheol below.
25 The house of the proud, Yahweh will tear [it] down, but he will maintain the {property line} of the widow.
26 Plans of evil [are] an abomination of Yahweh, but gracious words are pure.
27 He who makes trouble for his house [is] he who is greedy for unjust gain, but he who hates bribes will live.
28 A heart of righteousness will ponder the answer, but a mouth of wickedness will pour out deceit.
29 Yahweh is far from the wicked, but the prayers of the righteous he will hear.
30 From the light of the eyes, the heart will rejoice, and good news will enliven the bones.
31 The ear of him who listens [to] admonitions of life, in the midst of the wise it will lodge.
32 He who ignores instruction despises himself, but he who hears admonition gains heart.
33 Fear of Yahweh [is] the instruction of the wise, and before honor [comes] humility.
