Proverbs 15:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Every day is hard for ·those who suffer [or the poor],
but a happy heart is like a continual feast.

¹⁶ It is better to ·be poor [have little] and ·respect [fear] the Lord
than to ·be wealthy [have great treasure] and ·have much trouble [turmoil].

¹⁷ It is better to eat vegetables with those who love you
than ·to eat meat [^Lan ox of the stall] with those who hate you.
