Proverbs
Chapters 15:19-25
New International Version Anglicized
19The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,but the path of the upright is a highway.
20A wise son brings joy to his father,but a foolish man despises his mother.
21Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
22Plans fail for lack of counsel,but with many advisors they succeed.
23A person finds joy in giving an apt reply –and how good is a timely word!
24The path of life leads upward for the prudentto keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.
25The Lord tears down the house of the proud,but he sets the widow’s boundary stones in place.
