Proverbs 15:19-21

King James Version

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

²⁰A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

²¹Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

Proverbs 15:19-21

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

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

but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
