Proverbs 17:1

New King James Version

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.

See the chapter Copy

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.

Better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and angry woman.

A little that a righteous man has Is better than the riches of many wicked.

Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

“I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows.

A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame, And will share an inheritance among the brothers.

Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble.

Better is a little with righteousness, Than vast revenues without justice.
