¹⁶Better is little with the fear of Jehovah than great store and disquietude therewith. ¹⁷Better is a meal of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox and hatred therewith.

¹⁸A furious man stirreth up contention; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

¹⁹The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; but the path of the upright is made plain.

²⁰A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

²¹Folly is joy to him that is void of sense; but a man of understanding regulateth his walk.

²²Without counsel purposes are disappointed; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

²³A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; and a word in its season, how good is it!

²⁴The path of life is upwards for the wise, that he may depart from Sheol beneath.

²⁵Jehovah plucketh up the house of the proud; but he establisheth the boundary of the widow.

²⁶The thoughts of the evil man are an abomination to Jehovah; but pure words are pleasant.

²⁷He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

²⁸The heart of a righteous man studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

²⁹Jehovah is far from the wicked; but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

³⁰That which enlighteneth the eyes rejoiceth the heart; good tidings make the bones fat.
