Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble.
A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked.
“As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, So is he who gets riches, but not by right; It will leave him in the midst of his days, And at his end he will be a fool.”
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness In the house of the wicked, And the short measure that is an abomination?
When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.
Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
