“Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh,than great treasure with trouble.”
Proverbs 15:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,but the mouths of fools feed on folly. 15All the days of the afflicted are wretched,but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. 16Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh,than great treasure with trouble. 17Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,than a fattened calf with hatred. 18A wrathful man stirs up contention,but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
