18 A short-tempered man provokes conflicts. Whoever is patient tempers those who are stirred up.
19 The way of the slothful is like a hedge of thorns. The way of the just is without offense.
20 A wise son gladdens the father. But the foolish man despises his mother.
21 Folly is gladness to the foolish. And the prudent man sets his own steps in order.
