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