Proverbs 15:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ A person with a bad temper stirs up conflict.
    But a person who is patient calms things down.

¹⁹ The way of people who don’t want to work is blocked with thorns.
    But the path of honest people is a wide road.

²⁰ A wise son makes his father glad.
    But a foolish son hates his mother.
