Olam 2

Better <i>is</i> a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but <i>he that is</i> slow to anger appeaseth strife.

The way of the slothful <i>man is</i> as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous <i>is</i> made plain.

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Folly <i>is</i> joy to <i>him that is</i> destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellers they are established.

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word <i>spoken</i> in due season, how good <i>is it</i>!

The way of life <i>is</i> above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

The thoughts of the wicked <i>are</i> an abomination to the LORD: but <i>the words</i> of the pure <i>are</i> pleasant words.
