Proverbs 15:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 It is better to have a little and fear the Lord[a]
than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish.
17 Better a dish of herbs served with love
than a fattened ox accompanied by hatred.
18 An ill-tempered man provokes quarrels,
but a patient man quiets dissension.
