Proverbs 15:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. ¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. ¹⁹ The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.
