16 Better is little with the fear of Yahweh than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 Better is a dinner of vegetables when love is there than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
18 A man who is hot-tempered will stir up strife, but he who is slow to anger, he will calm contention.
19 The way of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A child of wisdom will make a father glad, but a foolish person, he despises his mother.
21 Folly is a joy to him who lacks sense, and a person of understanding will walk upright.
22 Plans go wrong when there is no counsel, but with many advisors it will succeed.
