Proverbs 15:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 All the days of the poor are hard,
but goodness of heart[a] is a continuous feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of Yahweh
than great treasure and trouble with it.[b]
17 Better is a dinner of vegetables when[c] love is there
than a fattened ox and hatred with it.[d]
