Proverbs 15:16

American King James Version (1999)

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

See the chapter Copy

A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.

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

All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
