Proverbs 15:16

Modern King James Version

Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah than great treasure and tumult with it.

See the chapter Copy

Better is a little with righteousness than great gain without right.

A little to the righteous is better than the riches of many wicked.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

The blessing of Jehovah itself makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.

All the days of the afflicted are evil, but gladness of heart is a continual feast.

Better is a hand filled with rest than two fists with travail and vexation of spirit.

Better is a dry piece of bread, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with fighting.
