18. A furious man stirreth up contention; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

19. The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; but the path of the upright is made plain.

20. A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

21. Folly is joy to him that is void of sense; but a man of understanding regulateth his walk.

22. Without counsel purposes are disappointed; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

23. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; and a word in its season, how good is it!
