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!
