Proverbs 15:16-21 The Message (MSG)

16. A simple life in the Fear-of-Godis better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.

17. Better a bread crust shared in lovethan a slab of prime rib served in hate.

18. Hot tempers start fights;a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.

19. The path of lazy people is overgrown with briers;the diligent walk down a smooth road.

20. Intelligent children make their parents proud;lazy students embarrass their parents.

21. The empty-headed treat life as a plaything;the perceptive grasp its meaning and make a go of it.
