Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 15 of Proverbs. The passage states that the Lord knows even Sheol and the heart, establishing a radical vision of human transparency before God. Joy, sorrow, patience, and pride are examined from this perspective. A wise son brings joy to his father, while a foolish one despises his mother. Wisdom therefore affects both inner life and family relationships.

Es ist besser ein wenig mit der Furcht des HERRN denn großer Schatz, darin Unruhe ist.
Mejor es lo poco con el temor de Jehová, Que el gran tesoro donde hay turbación.
Mieux vaut peu, avec la crainte de l'Eternel, Qu'un grand trésor, avec le trouble.
Meglio vale poco col timor del Signore, Che gran tesoro con turbamento.
Melhor é o pouco com o temor do SENHOR, do que um grande tesouro onde há inquietação.
財寶稀少,敬畏耶和華, 強如財寶眾多,煩亂不安。
