Proverbs 15:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹ The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,^(A)
    but the path of the upright is a highway.

²⁰ A wise son brings joy to his father,^(B)
    but a foolish man despises his mother.

²¹ Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,^(C)
    but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
