15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of the Lordthan great treasure with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love isthan a fatted calf with hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up strife,but he who is slow to anger appeases 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 makes a father glad,but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to him who is destitute of wisdom,but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
