Proverbs 15:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 A man who is hot-tempered will stir up strife,
but he who is slow to anger,[a] he will calm contention.
19 The way of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns,[b]
but the path of the upright is a highway.
20 A child of wisdom will make a father glad,
but a foolish person,[c] he despises his mother.
