Proverbs 15:17 Context
15All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but he that is of a merry heart, hath a continuall feast. 16Better is little with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith. 17Better is a dinner of herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe, and hatred therewith. 18A wrathfull man stirreth vp strife: but he that is slow to anger, appeaseth strife. 19The way of the slouthfull man is as an hedge of thornes: but the way of the righteous is made plaine.
