Rashi, on Prov 15:16

“Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures without content,”

“Better a little with the fear of the Lord, than a great treasury and turmoil with it The voice of people shouting that the treasury was made from robbery and violence, as in (Amos 3:9): “And see great confusions within it and people being oppressed in its midst.””
