In context
15All the days of the afflicted are hard, but a cheerful heart has a feast without end. 16Better a little with the fear of Yahweh than great treasure and turmoil with it. 17Better a dish of greens where there is love than a fattened ox where there is hatred. 18A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but whoever is slow to anger quiets a quarrel. 19The way of the sluggard is a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level road.
