Proverbs 15:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ All the days of those who are crushed are filled with pain and suffering.
    But a cheerful heart enjoys a good time that never ends.

¹⁶ It is better to have respect for the Lord and have little
    than to be rich and have trouble.

¹⁷ A few vegetables where there is love
    are better than the finest meat where there is hatred.
