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.
20A wise son gladdens his father; But a foolish son sneers at his mother.
21The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; But a wise man proceeds on his way aright.
