¹ Better `is' a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.

¹⁷ Better `is' an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.

⁹ Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than `with' a woman of contentions and a house of company.

¹⁹ Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than `with' a woman of contentions and anger.

¹⁶ Better `is' the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
