Proverbs 15:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Those who are hot-tempered stir up strife,
    but those who are slow to anger calm contention.
¹⁹ The way of the lazy is overgrown with thorns,
    but the path of the upright is a level highway.
²⁰ A wise child makes a glad father,
    but the foolish despise their mothers.
