20A wise son maketh a glad father: But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: But a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22Without counsel purposes are disappointed: But in the multitude of counsellers they are established.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: And a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24The way of life is above to the wise, That he may depart from hell beneath.
