Proverbs 15:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ It is better to be poor and respect the Lord
    than to be wealthy and have much trouble.

¹⁷ It is better to eat vegetables with those who love you
    than to eat meat with those who hate you.

¹⁸ People with quick tempers cause trouble,
    but those who control their tempers stop a quarrel.
