Proverbs 17:1 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

XVII.

(1) A house full of sacrifices. — Possibly the same as the “peace offerings” of Proverbs 7:14 (where see note). The consumption of these may have at times degenerated into licence (comp. 1 Samuel 1:13), and quarrelling have ensued.

Proverbs 17:1

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