Proverbs
Chapters 15:20-26
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
20Wise children make their parents happy. Foolish children bring them shame.
21Doing foolish things makes a fool happy, but a wise person is careful to do what is right.
22If you don’t ask for advice, your plans will fail. With many advisors, they will succeed.
23People are happy when they give a good answer. And there is nothing better than the right word at the right time.
24What wise people do leads to life here on earth and stops them from going down to the place of death.
25The Lord destroys a proud man’s house but protects a widow’s property.
26The Lord hates evil thoughts, but he is pleased with kind words.
