Proverbs 15:16-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.

21. Folly is joy to those who lack sense,but those with understanding walk straight ahead.
