¹⁶ Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

⁸ Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

¹⁶ How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

17 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

19 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

⁶ Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

¹¹ The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
