18. A wrathful man stirs up strife,But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
19. The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,But the way of the upright is a highway.
20. A wise son makes a father glad,But a foolish man despises his mother.
21. Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment,But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22. Without counsel, plans go awry,But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23. A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
