Proverbs 15:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 All the days of the [a]needy are bad,
But a [b]cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 (A)Better is a little with [c]the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with [d]the treasure.
17 (B)Better is a portion of [e]vegetables where there is love,
Than a (C)fattened ox served with hatred.
