Proverbs 15:16-18a

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.
