Proverbs 15:15-20 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. All the days of the needy are hard,but a happy heart has a continual feast.

16. Better a little with fear of the Lordthan a great treasure with turmoil.

17. Better a meal of greens with lovethan a plump calf with hate.

18. Hotheads stir up conflict,but patient people calm down strife.

19. The path of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns,but the way of those who do right is a clear road.

20. A wise child brings joy to a father,but fools despise their mothers.
