Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.

But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

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

Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.

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

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

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

Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

Don't forsake your friend and your father's friend. Don't go to your brother's house in the day of your disaster: better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.

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

Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn't know how to receive admonition any more.

Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

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

How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine! The fragrance of your perfumes than all kinds of spices!
