Proverbs 17:1

Proverbs 17:1 The Message (MSG)

A meal of bread and water in contented peace is better than a banquet spiced with quarrels.

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

Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it Than a house full of feasting with strife.

It is better to eat a dry crust of bread in peace than to have a feast where there is quarreling.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife.

Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.

Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.

Better is a dry morsel [of food served] with quietness and peace Than a house full of feasting [served] with strife and contention.

Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.

A simple, humble life with peace and quiet is far better than an opulent lifestyle with nothing but quarrels and strife at home.

Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.
