Charles Ellicott Commentary Proverbs 17:1

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

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 license (compare 1 Samuel 1:13), and quarreling ensued.
