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.
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.
