Proverbs 15:19-21
International Standard Version
19 The lifestyle of the lazy is like a thorny hedge,
but the path taken by the upright is an open highway.
20 A wise son makes a father glad,
but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Stupidity is the delight of the senseless,
but an understanding man walks uprightly.
Proverbs 15:19-21
New International Version
19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,(A)
but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A wise son brings joy to his father,(B)
but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,(C)
but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
