Proverbs 15:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ The way of the lazy is overgrown with thorns,
    but the path of the upright is a level highway.
²⁰ A wise child makes a glad father,
    but the foolish despise their mothers.
²¹ Folly is a joy to one who has no sense,
    but a person of understanding walks straight ahead.
