“A bowl of soup with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate.” – Proverbs 15:17 (New Living Translation)


The English Standard Version of this verse, which I like, says, “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.”

I used the New Living Translation of this verse because I think it is more relatable nowadays. Especially since I love vegetables and herbs so much. : ) I think the truth of the point is well made with either though.
