Proverbs 15:7, Proverbs 15:14, Proverbs 15:20-21, Proverbs 15:24

⁷The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,But the hearts of fools are not so.

¹⁴The ^aheart of the one who has understanding seeks knowledge,But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

²⁰A ^awise son makes a father glad,But a foolish man ^bdespises his mother.²¹Folly is gladness to him who lacks a heart of wisdom,But a man of discernment ^awalks straight.

²⁴The ^apath of life leads upward for the one who has insightThat he may turn away from Sheol below.
