15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched,but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
16 Better is little, with the fear of the Lord,than great treasure with trouble.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,than a fattened calf with hatred.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention,but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch,but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A wise son makes a father glad,but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom,but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
