Proverbs 15:16

New English Translation

Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil with it.

See the chapter Copy

The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,

The blessing from the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow to it.

All the days of the afflicted are bad, but one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast.

Better to have a little with righteousness than to have abundant income without justice.

Better is a dry crust of bread where there is quietness than a house full of feasting with strife.

A poor person who walks in his integrity is better than one who is perverse in his ways even though he is rich.

Better is one handful with some rest than two hands full of toil and chasing the wind.

Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.
