Proverbs 15:20-23

New International Version - UK

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

²¹ Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,
    but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.

²² Plans fail for lack of counsel,
    but with many advisors they succeed.

²³ A person finds joy in giving an apt reply –
    and how good is a timely word!
