Proverbs 15:15-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15. All the days of the afflicted are bad, But a cheerful heart has a continual feast.

16. Better is a little with the fear of the Lord Than great treasure and turmoil with it.

17. Better is a dish of vegetables where love is Than a fattened ox served with hatred.

18. A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, But the slow to anger calms a dispute.

19. The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns, But the path of the upright is a highway.

20. A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother.

21. Folly is joy to him who lacks sense, But a man of understanding walks straight.

22. Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.

23. A man has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!
