He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah.

Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.

Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked.

Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.

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

How fair is thy love, my sister, my bride! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine oils than all manner of spices!

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom thine eyes have seen.

Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.

Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity Than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
