Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

Verse 17 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 Gericht Kraut mit Liebe, denn ein gemästeter Ochse mit Haß.
Mejor es la comida de legumbres donde hay amor, Que de buey engordado donde hay odio.
Mieux vaut de l'herbe pour nourriture, là où règne l'amour, Qu'un boeuf engraissé, si la haine est là.
Meglio vale un pasto d’erbe, ove sia amore, Che di bue ingrassato, ove sia odio
Melhor é a comida de hortaliça, onde há amor, do que o boi cevado, e com ele o ódio.
有愛,吃素菜, 強如相恨,吃肥牛。
