Proverbs 17:1

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

See the chapter Copy

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and an angry woman.

A little that a righteous man hath is better Than the riches of many wicked.

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, Than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

I have peace offerings with me; This day have I payed my vows.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, And shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

Better is little with the fear of the LORD Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Better is a little with righteousness Than great revenues without right.
