14. The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16. Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure with trouble.
17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox with hatred.
18. A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to anger quiets strife.
