Proverbs 15:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ It is better to have respect for the Lord and have little
    than to be rich and have trouble.

¹⁷ A few vegetables where there is love
    are better than the finest meat where there is hatred.

¹⁸ A person with a bad temper stirs up conflict.
    But a person who is patient calms things down.
