Proverbs 15:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ It is better to have a little and fear the Lord^[a]
    than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish.
¹⁷ Better a dish of herbs served with love
    than a fattened ox accompanied by hatred.
¹⁸ An ill-tempered man provokes quarrels,
    but a patient man quiets dissension.
