Proverbs 15:16

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,

See the chapter Copy

Better is a little with justice, than great revenues with iniquity.

For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.

The blessing of the Lord maketh men rich: neither shall affliction be joined to them.

All the days of the poor are evil: a secure mind is like a continual feast.

Better is a handful with rest, than both hands full with labour, and vexation of mind.

Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife.
