Proverbs 15:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
    is better than steak with someone you hate.

¹⁸ A hot-tempered person starts fights;
    a cool-tempered person stops them.

¹⁹ A lazy person’s way is blocked with briers,
    but the path of the upright is an open highway.
