Bible Reading: Proverbs 17

1. Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

(sacrifices mean the best goods and feasts that would be suitable for sacrifice, in other words, lavish entertainment food).

therefore it can also be translated:

Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting with strife.
