Proverbs 15:16

New International Version

Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

See the chapter Copy

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked;

The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.

All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

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

Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse.

Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
