Proverbs 15:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ The quickly angered man stirs up contention,
    but anyone who controls his temper calms a dispute.

¹⁹ The lifestyle of the lazy is like a thorny hedge,
    but the path taken by the upright is an open highway.

²⁰ A wise son makes a father glad,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.
