Better a dish of vegetables where there is love than a fattened ox with hatred.
Commentary on Proverbs 15:172 voices
A dinner of herbs - The meals of the poor and the abstemious. The stalled ox, like the fatted calf of Luk 15:23, would indicate a stately magnificence.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
But you should be content with your own possessions and not feed on the losses of others. The good food is the simplicity of innocence. Having their own good, they do not know how to lay traps for others, nor do they burn with the flames of greed, for whom every gain is a loss to virtue and an inflaming desire.
Ambrose of Milan· The Six Days of Creation, 397Patristic
