Proverbs 15:13-15

New Living Translation

¹³A glad heart makes a happy face;
a broken heart crushes the spirit.

¹⁴A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
while the fool feeds on trash.

¹⁵For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.

Proverbs 15:13-15

but heartache crushes the spirit.^(B)

¹⁴The discerning heart seeks knowledge,^(C)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.

¹⁵All the days of the oppressed are wretched,
but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.^(D)

³⁰A cheerful look brings joy to the heart;
good news makes for good health.

³⁰Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the bones.^(A)
