Proverbs 15:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it. ¹⁸ An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting. ¹⁹ Thorns are round the way of the hater of work; but the road of the hard worker becomes a highway.
