Proverbs 15:18-20

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁸ Hot-tempered people stir up strife,
    but patient people quiet quarrels.

¹⁹ The lazy person’s way seems overgrown by thorns,
    but the path of the upright is a level highway.

²⁰ A wise son is a joy to his father,
    and only a fool despises his mother.
