16 Better 'is' a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it. 17 Better 'is' an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.
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.
