Proverbs 15:22

WisdomGuidance and decisionsFellowship and the church

20 A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

21 Folly is joy to one who lacks judgment, but a man of understanding walks a straight path.

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

23 A man takes joy in a fitting reply— and how good is a timely word!

24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, that he may avoid going down to Sheol.
