Proverbs 15:19-21
The Voice
19 Lazy people walk a path overgrown with thornbushes,
but those with integrity travel a wide, level road.
20 A wise child makes his father happy,
but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Foolishness brings sheer joy to those who have no sense,
but people with insight steer a straight course through life.
