Proverbs 15:16-17

MSG

NIV

16 A simple life in the Fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.
16 Better a little with the fear of the LORDthan great wealth with turmoil.
17 Better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate.
17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.
