Proverbs 15:16

American Standard Version (1901)

Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

See the chapter Copy

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

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

But godliness with contentment is great gain:

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.

All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart hath 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 therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
