Better is a little with righteousness than great increase without justice.
A little to the righteous one is better than the abundance of many wicked ones.
Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah than great treasure and tumult with it.
Better is a meal of herbs and love than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
When a man’s ways please Jehovah, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
A man’s heart plans his way, but Jehovah establishes his step.
Better is a dry piece of bread, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.
Better is the poor one walking in his integrity than the crooked one of ways, even if he is rich.
Better is a palm filled with rest, than two fists filled with labor and striving after wind.
As a partridge broods and does not hatch, so is he who makes riches, and not with justice; it will leave him in the midst of his days, and at his end he will be a foolish one.
Are there yet in the house of the wicked the treasures of wickedness, and a cursed ephah of leanness?
