Proverbs 17:1

Better is a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.

Better is an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.

Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than with a woman of contentions and a house of company.

Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than with a woman of contentions and anger.

Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

Sacrifices of peace-offerings are by me, To-day I have completed my vows.
