Proverbs 15:16

New American Bible - revised edition

Better a little with fear of the Lord than a great fortune with anxiety.

See the chapter Copy

Better the meagerness of the righteous one than the plenty of the wicked.

It is the Lord’s blessing that brings wealth, and no effort can substitute for it.

All the days of the poor are evil, but a good heart is a continual feast.

Better a little with justice, than a large income with injustice.

Better a dry crust with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

Better to be poor and walk in integrity than rich and crooked in one’s ways.

Better is one handful with tranquility than two with toil and a chase after wind! Companions and Successors.

Indeed, religion with contentment is a great gain.
