Proverbs
Chapters 15:15-21
New International Version Anglicized
15All the days of the oppressed are wretched,but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16Better a little with the fear of the Lordthan great wealth with turmoil.
17Better a dish of vegetables with lovethan a fattened calf with hatred.
18A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.
19The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,but the path of the upright is a highway.
20A wise son brings joy to his father,but a foolish man despises his mother.
21Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
