Proverbs 15:16-18
Contemporary English Version

16 It's better to obey the Lord
    and have only a little,
than to be very rich
    and terribly anxious.
17 A simple meal with love
is better than a feast
    where there is hatred.

18 Losing your temper
    causes a lot of trouble,
but staying calm
    settles arguments.
