21:9

Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

12:9

Better is one who is slighted but has a servant,
Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.

25:7

For it is better that he say to you,
"Come up here,"
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince.
Whom your eyes have seen.

28:6

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity,
Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

27:5

Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.

19:1

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

17:1

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