Proverbs 15:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 The heart of him who understands will seek knowledge,
but the faces of fools, they[a] will feed on folly.
15 All the days of the poor are hard,
but goodness of heart[b] is a continuous feast.
16 Better is little with the fear of Yahweh
than great treasure and trouble with it.[c]
