Proverbs 15:16

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are bad, but one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast. ¹⁶ Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth and turmoil with it. ¹⁷ Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox where there is hatred.
