Proverbs 15:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.
²⁰ A ^(A)wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man ^(B)despises his mother.
²¹ Folly is joy to him who lacks ^[a]sense,
But a man of understanding ^(C)walks straight.
