Proverbs 15:17-19
Amplified Bible
17
Better is a dinner of vegetables and herbs where love is present
Than a fattened ox served with hatred.(A)
18
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes.
19
The way of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns [it pricks, lacerates, and entangles him],
But the way [of life] of the upright is smooth and open like a highway.
Proverbs 15:17-19
New International Version
17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love
than a fattened calf with hatred.(A)
19 The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,(D)
but the path of the upright is a highway.
