16Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and confusion therewith.
17Better is an allowance of herbs when love is there, than a stall-fed ox and hatred therewith.
18A man of fury stirreth up strife; but he that is slow to anger assuageth contention.
19The way of the slothful man is like a hedge of thorns; but the path of the upright is a levelled road.
20A wise son causeth his father to rejoice; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
