15The eyes of the wicked are always looking for evil things; But the good are always quiet.
16Better is a small portion with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasures without the fear of the Lord.
17Better is an entertainment of herbs with friendliness and kindness, Than a feast of calves, with enmity.
18A passionate man stirs up strife; But he that is slow to anger appeases even a rising one.
18aA man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels; But an ungodly man rather stirs them up.
19The ways of sluggards are strewn with thorns; But those of the diligent are made smooth.
20A wise son gladdens his father; But a foolish son sneers at his mother.
21The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; But a wise man proceeds on his way aright.
22They that honor not councils put off deliberation; But counsel abides in the hearts of counselors.
23A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; Neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common weal.
