15All the days of the troubled are evil; but he whose heart is glad has an unending feast.
16Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.
17Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it.

19Thorns are round the way of the hater of work; but the road of the hard worker becomes a highway.
20A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man has no respect for his mother.
21Foolish behaviour is joy to the unwise; but a man of good sense makes his way straight.
22Where there are no wise suggestions, purposes come to nothing; but by a number of wise guides they are made certain.
23A man has joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word at the right time, how good it is!
24Acting wisely is the way of life, guiding a man away from the underworld.
25The house of the man of pride will be uprooted by the Lord, but he will make safe the heritage of the widow.
