Proverbs 15:20-28

1. 20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

2. 21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

3. 22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

4. 23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

5. 24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

6. 25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

7. 26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

8. 27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

9. 28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
