Proverbs 16:8

New American Bible - revised edition

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

Better a dish of herbs where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it.

When the Lord is pleased with someone’s ways, he makes even enemies be at peace with them.

The human heart plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps.

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.

A partridge that broods but does not hatch are those who acquire wealth unjustly: In midlife it will desert them; in the end they are only fools.

Am I to bear criminal hoarding and the accursed short ephah?
