“Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.”
Proverbs 15:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 15:17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Modest meal with love beats lavish feast with hatred. This 'better than' saying subordinates material abundance to relational harmony. The 'stalled ox' represents expensive feast; 'dinner of herbs' represents simple vegetables. Yet love makes poverty rich; hatred makes wealth miserable. Relationships matter more than resources.
