Proverbs 15:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns,
    but the way of the righteous is made plain.

²⁰ A wise son makes a father glad,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.

²¹ Folly is joy to him who is destitute of wisdom,
    but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
