¹⁶Being poor and revering Yahweh is better than being rich and having a lot of troubles.

¹⁷Eating meals with people whom you love and having only vegetables to eat is better than eating with people who hate each other and having lots of good meat to eat.

¹⁸Those who quickly become angry cause arguments/quarreling, but those who do not quickly become angry cause people to act peacefully.

¹⁹Lazy people constantly have difficulties MET; it is as though they are walking through thorns; but those who are honest and hard-working will have few difficulties; it is as though they are walking on a level highway MET.

²⁰Children who are wise cause their parents to be happy; it is foolish children who despise their parents.
