Proverbs 15:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ The poor have a hard life,
but being content is as good
    as an endless feast.
¹⁶ It's better to obey the Lord
    and have only a little,
than to be very rich
    and terribly anxious.
¹⁷ A simple meal with love
is better than a feast
    where there is hatred.
