16. Better is little with the fear of the Lordthan great treasure with trouble.
17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love isthan a fatted calf with hatred.
18. A wrathful man stirs up strife,but he who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19. The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns,but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20. A wise son makes a father glad,but a foolish man despises his mother.
