Proverbs 15:18

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is than a fatted calf and hatred therewith. ¹⁸ A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But the slow to anger calms a dispute.
¹⁹ The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the righteous is made plain.
