Proverbs

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. ²¹Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom: but a man of understanding maketh straight his going. ²²Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
