15 The poor have a hard life,but being content is as goodas an endless feast.
16 It's better to obey the Lordand have only a little,than to be very richand terribly confused.
17 A simple meal with loveis better than a feastwhere there is hatred.
18 Losing your tempercauses a lot of trouble,but staying calmsettles arguments.
19 Being lazy is like walkingin a thorn patch,but everyone who does rightwalks on a smooth road.
20 Children with good sensemake their parents happy,but foolish childrenare hateful to them.
21 Stupidity brings happinessto senseless fools,but everyone with good sensefollows the straight path.
