Betteris a littlewith the fearof the LORDThangreattreasureand turmoilwith it.
Betteris the littleof the righteousThanthe abundanceof manywicked.
It is the blessingof the LORDthat makesrich,And He addsnosorrowto it.
Allthe daysof the afflictedare bad,But a cheerfulheart[has] a continualfeast.
Betteris a littlewith righteousnessThangreatincomewith injustice.
Betteris a drymorseland quietnesswith it Thana housefullof feastingwith strife.
Betteris the poorwho walksin his integrityThanhe who is crookedthough he be rich.
One handfullof restis betterthantwo fistsfullof laborand strivingafter wind.
But godliness[actually] is a meansof greatgainwhen accompaniedby contentment.
