Proverbs 15:16-20

¹⁶It's better to respect the Lord and only have a little than to have plenty of money and the trouble that comes with it.

¹⁷Better a dinner of vegetables where there's love than eating meat with hatred.

¹⁸Short-tempered people stir up trouble, but those slow to anger calm things down.

¹⁹The way of lazy people is overgrown with thorns, but the path of the good is an open highway.

²⁰A wise son makes his father happy, but a stupid man despises his mother.
