Proverbs 15:20-23

20A 1wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man 2despises his mother.21Folly is joy to him who lacks 3sense, But a man of understanding 4walks straight.22Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they 5succeed.23A 6man has joy in an 7apt answer, And how delightful is a timely 8word!
