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

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

Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and trouble with it.

Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues without right.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with toil and vexation of spirit.

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

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold? and to get understanding 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.

Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he is rich.

Yes, better is he than both they, who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Better is a poor and a wise child, than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thy ointments than all spices!
