Proverbs 15:17
Compare all
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
aBut he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. 
16 aBetter is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble. 
17 aBetter is a dinner of1 herbs where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred. 
18 aA wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention. 
19 aThe way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
