16 Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.
17 Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19 The way of the slothful [man is] as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
