18. A wrathful man stirs up contention,but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
19. The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch,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 one who is void of wisdom,but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
22. Where there is no counsel, plans fail;but in a multitude of counsellors they are established.
