Proverbs 17:1
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.”
Hebrew word study
טוֹב
is good
ṭôwb
Taste and see. David does not say understand or agree — he says taste. Towb is goodness you experience, not just believe in. God's goodness is not a theological position. It is something you encounter when you draw near to Him.
