17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
17 Better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.
17 A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 15:17
Commentary on Proverbs 15:16-17
(Read Proverbs 15:16-17)
Believers often have enough when worldly eyes see little; the Lord is with them, without the cares, troubles, and temptations which are with the wealth of the wicked.
