Bible poetry: Proverbs 15:20-21

v.20. A wise son makes his father glad: but a foolish man despises his mother.
v.21. A man without wisdom enjoys stupidity; but a man of understanding will do what is right. (My paraphrase).

The good a wise son does
is sure to make his father glad;
a foolish son who does not care
will make his mother sad.

There are those men, though quite unwise,
who think they're smart in their own eyes;
but men who understand God's way
will pray for guidance every day.
