Proverbs 15:17-19

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁷Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.

¹⁸A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to anger appeaseth strife.

¹⁹The way of the slothful [is] as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.

Proverbs 15:17-19

New International Version

¹⁷Better a small serving of vegetables with love
than a fattened calf with hatred.^(A)

¹⁸A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,^(B)
but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.^(C)

¹⁹The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns,^(D)
but the path of the upright is a highway.
