20. A wise son makes a father glad,But a foolish man despises his mother.
21. Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment,But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22. Without counsel, plans go awry,But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23. A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
24. The way of life winds upward for the wise,That he may turn away from hell below.
