15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox with hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to anger quiets strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made a highway.
20 A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
