17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife:but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns:but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father:but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom:but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed:but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
