Proverbs 15:19-24 New Living Translation (NLT)

19. A lazy person’s way is blocked with briers,but the path of the upright is an open highway.

20. Sensible children bring joy to their father;foolish children despise their mother.

21. Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense;a sensible person stays on the right path.

22. Plans go wrong for lack of advice;many advisers bring success.

23. Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!

24. The path of life leads upward for the wise;they leave the grave behind.
