Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 17:1

"Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife." — Proverbs 17:1 (ASV)

Sacrifices - The feast accompanied the offerings (Proverbs 7:14). Part of the victims were burned upon the altar; the rest was consumed by the worshipper and his friends. The house full of sacrifices was therefore one abounding in sumptuous feasts.
