²¹אִ֭וֶּלֶת שִׂמְחָ֣ה לַחֲסַר־לֵ֑ב וְאִ֥ישׁ תְּ֝בוּנָ֗ה יְיַשֶּׁר־לָֽכֶת׃

²²הָפֵ֣ר מַ֭חֲשָׁבוֹת בְּאֵ֣ין ס֑וֹד וּבְרֹ֖ב יוֹעֲצִ֣ים תָּקֽוּם׃

²³שִׂמְחָ֣ה לָ֭אִישׁ בְּמַעֲנֵה־פִ֑יו וְדָבָ֖ר בְּעִתּ֣וֹ מַה־טּֽוֹב׃

²⁴אֹ֣רַח חַ֭יִּים לְמַ֣עְלָה לְמַשְׂכִּ֑יל לְמַ֥עַן ס֝֗וּר מִשְּׁא֥וֹל מָֽטָּה׃

Proverbs 15:20-24

Young's Literal Translation

²⁰A wise son rejoiceth a father. And a foolish man is despising his mother.

²¹Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directeth [his] going.

²²Without counsel [is] the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.

²³Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season -- how good!

²⁴A path of life [is] on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.

But with many counselors they ^[b]succeed.

And how delightful is a timely ^(E)word!
