Proverbs 15: 17 Better is a dinner of herbs[c] where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.

We had this verse in our Sunday School a few weeks ago. This is another way of saying that little is plenty as long as you have love. More is not better when love is not there.

There was something funny to me about the translation used in Sunday School. It went something like this: it’s better to eat dinner with cold vegtables, where there is love than with a fatted calf where there is none.

…So go tell that to the fatted calf.
