Proverbs 15:16

A Conservative Version

Better is little with the fear of LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.

See the chapter Copy

Better is a little, with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.

Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.

But piety with contentment is great gain,

Better is the poor man who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in [his] ways, though he be rich.

The blessing of LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a cheerful heart [has] a continual feast.

Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness with it, than a house full of feasting with strife.
