Proverbs 17:1

New International Version

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

See the chapter Copy

Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.

Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.

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

Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

“Today I fulfilled my vows, and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.

A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son and will share the inheritance as one of the family.

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

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
