Proverbs 15:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

^17 (A)Better is a ^[a]dish of ^[b]vegetables where love is
Than a ^(B)fattened ox served with hatred.
¹⁸ A ^(C)hot-tempered man stirs up strife,
But the ^(D)slow to anger ^(E)calms a dispute.
¹⁹ The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.
