Proverbs 17:1

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.

It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.

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

It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.

I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.

A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren.

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

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