Proverbs 15:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 Every day is wretched for those who are sorrowing,
but to one who is cheerful, every day is a perpetual feast.[a]
16 It is better to have a little and fear the Lord[b]
than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish.
17 Better a dish of herbs served with love
than a fattened ox accompanied by hatred.
