17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up contention: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the sluggard is as an hedge of thorns: but the path of the upright is made an highway.
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!
