Proverbs 15:20-26

Proverbs 15:20-26 MSG

Intelligent children make their parents proud; lazy students embarrass their parents. The empty-headed treat life as a plaything; the perceptive grasp its meaning and make a go of it. Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail; take good counsel and watch them succeed. Congenial conversation—what a pleasure! The right word at the right time—beautiful! Life ascends to the heights for the thoughtful— it’s a clean about-face from descent into hell. God smashes the pretensions of the arrogant; he stands with those who have no standing. God can’t stand evil scheming, but he puts words of grace and beauty on display.
