Proverbs
Chapters 15:17-23
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
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.
21Doing foolish things makes a fool happy, but a wise person is careful to do what is right.
22If you don’t ask for advice, your plans will fail. With many advisors, they will succeed.
23People are happy when they give a good answer. And there is nothing better than the right word at the right time.
