14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge,but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the poor are evil,but a good heart is a continual feast.
16 Better a little with fear of the Lordthan a great fortune with anxiety.
17 Better a dish of herbs where love isthan a fatted ox and hatred with it.
18 The ill-tempered stir up strife,but the patient settle disputes.
19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn hedge,but the path of the diligent is a highway.
20 A wise son gives his father joy,but a fool despises his mother.
