The Importance of Counsel and Diligence
20
A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21
Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going.
22
Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23
A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!
24
To the wise the way of lifegoethupward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.
