Proverbs 15:16 in context

1. 14The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge,
   but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
2. 15All the days of the afflicted are wretched,
   but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
3. 16Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh,
   than great treasure with trouble.
4. 17Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is,
   than a fattened calf with hatred.
5. 18A wrathful man stirs up contention,
   but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
