Proverbs
Chapters 15:14-20
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
14Intelligent people want more knowledge, but fools only want more nonsense.
15Life is always hard for the poor, but the right attitude can turn it into a party.
16It is better to be poor and respect the Lord than to be rich and have many troubles.
17It is better to eat a little where there is love than to eat a lot where there is hate.
18A quick temper causes fights, but patience brings peace and calm.
19For lazy people, life is a path overgrown with thorns and thistles. For those who do what is right, it is a smooth highway.
20Wise children make their parents happy. Foolish children bring them shame.
