Proverbs 15:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ A wise son makes a glad father, but a self-confident and foolish man despises his mother and puts her to shame.

²¹ Folly is pleasure to him who is without heart and sense, but a man of understanding walks uprightly [making straight his course].^(A)

²² Where there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated, but with many counselors they are accomplished.
