Proverbs

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. ²³A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word in due season, how good is it! ²⁴To the wise the way of life goeth upward, that he may depart from Sheol beneath.
