Proverbs 15:16-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
16
Better is a little with the fear of the
Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with the treasure.
17
Better is a portion of vegetables where there is love,
Than a fattened ox
served
with hatred.
18
A hot-tempered person stirs up strife,
But the slow to anger calms a dispute.
19
The way of the lazy one is like a hedge of thorns,
But the path of the upright is a highway.
20
A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Foolishness is joy to one who lacks sense,
But a person of understanding walks straight.
22
Without consultation, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they succeed.
23
A person has joy in an apt answer,
And how delightful is a timely word!
24
The path of life
leads
upward for the wise,
So that he may keep away from Sheol below.
King James Version
Chapter 15
16
Better is little with the fear of the
Lord
than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
19
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
22
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
16
Better a little with the fear of the
Lord
than great treasure with turmoil.
17
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened ox with hatred.
18
A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,
but one slow to anger calms strife.
19
A slacker’s way is like a thorny hedge,
but the path of the upright is a highway.
20
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish man despises his mother.
21
Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a person with understanding walks a straight path.
22
Plans fail when there is no counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed.
23
A person takes joy in giving an answer;
and a timely word—how good that is!
24
For the prudent the path of life leads upward,
so that he may avoid going down to Sheol.
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
16
Better to have little, with fear for the
Lord
,
than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.
17
A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
is better than steak with someone you hate.
18
A hot-tempered person starts fights;
a cool-tempered person stops them.
19
A lazy person’s way is blocked with briers,
but the path of the upright is an open highway.
20
Sensible children bring joy to their father;
foolish children despise their mother.
21
Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense;
a sensible person stays on the right path.
22
Plans go wrong for lack of advice;
many advisers bring success.
23
Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!
24
The path of life leads upward for the wise;
they leave the grave behind.
English Standard Version

16
Better a little with the fear of the

in due season, how good
it is!

The way of life
winds
upward for the wise,
That he may turn away from hell below.
