New Testament

Proverbs 15:16-23 God's Word Translation (GW)

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

17. Better to have a dish of vegetables where there is lovethan juicy steaks where there is hate.

18. A hothead stirs up a fight,but one who holds his temper calms disputes.

19. The path of lazy people is like a thorny hedge,but the road of decent people is an ⌊open⌋ highway.

20. A wise son makes his father happy,but a foolish child despises its mother.

21. Stupidity is fun to the one without much sense,but a person who has understanding forges straight ahead.

22. Without advice plans go wrong,but with many advisers they succeed.

23. A person is delighted to hear an answer from his own mouth,and a timely word—oh, how good!
