Proverbs

¹⁴The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly. ¹⁵All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast. ¹⁶Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble therewith. ¹⁷Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. ¹⁸A wrathful man stirreth up contention: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. ¹⁹The way of the sluggard is as an hedge of thorns: but the path of the upright is made an highway. ²⁰A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
