your bone and your flesh.

better <JUG18 -19> And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: [is it] {better} for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a f
amily in Israel?

coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
better <2SA17 -14> And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] {better} than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evi
l upon Absalom.
better <2SA18 -3> But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] {better} that thou suc
cour us out of the city.
better <1KI1 -47> And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon {better} than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.

etter} than thyself:
better <EST1 -19> If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal
estate unto another that is {better} than she.

better <PSA118 -9> It is] {better} to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
better <PSA119 -72> The law of thy mouth [is] {better} unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
better <PRO3 -14> For the merchandise of it [is] {better} than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
better <PRO8 -11> For wisdom [is] {better} than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
better <PRO8 -19> My fruit [is] {better} than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
better <PRO12 -9> He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] {better} than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

better <PRO16 -8> {Better} [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
better <PRO16 -16> How much {better} [is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

better <PRO19 -22> The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a poor man [is] {better} than a liar.

better <PRO25 -24> It is] {better} to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
better <PRO27 -5> Open rebuke [is] {better} than secret love.
better <PRO27 -10> Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: [for] {better} [is] a neighbour [that is] near than a brother far off.

better <ECC2 -24> There is] nothing {better} for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God.
better <ECC3 -22> Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing {better}, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

better <ECC6 -9> {Better} [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
better <ECC6 -11> Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the {better}?
better <ECC7 -1> A good name [is] {better} than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
better <ECC7 -2> It is] {better} to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; and the living will lay [it] to his heart.

better <ECC9 -4> For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is {better} than a dead lion.
better <ECC9 -16> Then said I, Wisdom [is] {better} than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard.

better <SON1 -2> Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] {better} than wine.
better <SON4 -10> How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how much {better} is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

better <MAT6 -26> Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much {better} than they?
better <MAT12 -12> How much then is a man {better} than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
better <MAT18 -6> But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were {better} for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

better <MAR9 -47> And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is {better} for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
better <LUK5 -39> No man also having drunk old wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is {better}.
better <LUK12 -24> Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye {better} than the fowls?
better <LUK17 -2> It were {better} for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
