Proverbs 15:13-17

Tree of Life Version

¹³ A joyful heart makes the face cheerful,
but heartache crushes the spirit.
¹⁴ A discerning heart seeks knowledge,
but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are bad,
but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
¹⁶ Better is little with the fear of Adonai
than great wealth with turmoil.
¹⁷ Better a meal of vegetables where there is love,
than a fattened ox where there is hatred.
