14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.
18A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
