Proverbs 15:13-17

Common English Bible

¹³ A joyful heart brightens one’s face,
    but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.
¹⁴ An understanding heart seeks knowledge;
    but fools feed on folly.
¹⁵ All the days of the needy are hard,
    but a happy heart has a continual feast.
¹⁶ Better a little with fear of the Lord
    than a great treasure with turmoil.
¹⁷ Better a meal of greens with love
    than a plump calf with hate.
