Proverbs 15:19-21
Authorized (King James) Version
19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns:
but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father:
but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom:
but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
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.
