14 The heart of the wise seeks doctrine. And the mouth of the foolish feeds on ignorance.
15 All the days of the poor are evil. A secure mind is like a continual feast.
16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures and dissatisfaction.
17 It is better to be called to vegetables with charity, than to a fatted calf with hatred.
18 A short-tempered man provokes conflicts. Whoever is patient tempers those who are stirred up.
