Proverbs 15:16

American Standard Version 2015

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

But godliness with contentment is great gain:

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity,\par\tab Than he that is perverse in {\i his} ways, though he be rich.

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

All the days of the afflicted are evil;\par\tab But he that is of a cheerful heart {\i hath} a continual feast.

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

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,\par\tab Than a house full of feasting with strife.
