Proverbs 15:16

King James 2000

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

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 justice.

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

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

Better is a handful with quietness, than both hands full with toil and grasping for the wind.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
