Proverbs 15:18-20

World English Bible

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirs up contention,
    but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
¹⁹ The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch,
    but the path of the upright is a highway.
²⁰ A wise son makes a father glad,
    but a foolish man despises his mother.
