Proverbs 15:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Better a dish of herbs served with love
    than a fattened ox accompanied by hatred.
¹⁸ An ill-tempered man provokes quarrels,
    but a patient man quiets dissension.
¹⁹ The path of the idler^[a] is covered with thorns,
    but the path of the upright is a broad highway.
