Proverbs 15:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ A few vegetables where there is love
    are better than the finest meat where there is hatred.

¹⁸ A person with a bad temper stirs up conflict.
    But a person who is patient calms things down.

¹⁹ The way of people who don’t want to work is blocked with thorns.
    But the path of honest people is a wide road.
