Proverbs 15:18-23

Tree of Life Version

¹⁸ A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.
¹⁹ The way of the slacker is a hedge of thorns,
but the path of the upright is a highway.
²⁰ A wise child brings joy to his father,
but a foolish person despises his mother.
²¹ Folly is joy to one who lacks sense,
but one with discernment walks straight.
