Proverbs 15:17-19
International Standard Version
17 A vegetarian meal[a] served with love is better
than a big, thick steak[b] with a plateful of[c] animosity.
18 The quickly angered man stirs up contention,
but anyone who controls his temper calms a dispute.
19 The lifestyle of the lazy is like a thorny hedge,
but the path taken by the upright is an open highway.
