18A wrathful man stirreth up discord; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19The way of the sluggard is as though hedged by thorns; but the path of the upright is even.
20A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21Folly is joy to him that lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment walketh straightforwards.
22For want of counsel purposes are frustrated; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; and a word in due season, how good is it!
24The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath.
25The LORD will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow.
26The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to the LORD; but words of pleasantness are pure.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29The LORD is far from the wicked; but He heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; and a good report maketh the bones fat.
