But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

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

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted ox with hatred.

Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without justice.

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

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

Better is the poor that walks in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

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

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

Yea, better is he than both, who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Better is a handful with quietness, than both hands full with toil and grasping for the wind.

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

Better is it that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.

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

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

How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is your love than wine! and the fragrance of your perfume than all spices!
