Proverbs 15:16-19

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.
