Proverbs 15:17-19

¹⁷It is better to be called to worts with charity, than with hatred to a calf made fat. (It is better to be warmly, or cordially, called to herbs, or vegetables, than to be hatefully invited to share a fattened calf.)

¹⁸A wrathful man raiseth chidings; he that is patient, assuageth chidings that were raised.

¹⁹The way of slow men is as an hedge of thorns; the way of just men is without thing of hurting. (A lazy person’s way (is) a hedge of thorns; but the way of the righteous (is) without a cause of stumbling.)
