Proverbs 15:18-20

Modern English Version

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.
