16. Better is little with the fear of the Lordthan great wealth and turmoil with it.
17. Better a meal of vegetables where there is lovethan a fattened ox where there is hatred.
18. A quick-tempered person stirs up dissension,but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.
19. The way of the sluggard is like a hedge of thorns,but the path of the upright is like a highway.
