Proverbs 15:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹Folly delights the one without sense,
    but a man of understanding follows a straight path.
²²Plans miscarry when counsel is lacking,
    but they succeed when there are many counselors.
²³A man is joyful when he utters apt answers,
    and even more satisfying is a word in season.
