15 All the days of the poor are difficult, but he that is of a good heart has a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is than a fatted calf and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he that is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the righteous is made plain.
20 The wise son makes a glad father, but the foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of understanding, but the man who is intelligent walks uprightly.
