Proverbs 15:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ A hot-headed person stirs up trouble,
    but one with patience settles a fight.
¹⁹ Lazy people walk a path overgrown with thornbushes,
    but those with integrity travel a wide, level road.
²⁰ A wise child makes his father happy,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.
