Proverbs 15:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ It is better to eat vegetables with those who love you
    than to eat meat with those who hate you.

¹⁸ People with quick tempers cause trouble,
    but those who control their tempers stop a quarrel.

¹⁹ A lazy person’s life is like a patch of thorns,
    but an honest person’s life is like a smooth highway.
