Proverbs 15:13-17

New King James Version

^13 (A)A merry heart makes a cheerful ^[a]countenance,
But ^(B)by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴ The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

¹⁵ All the days of the afflicted are evil,
^(C)But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

^16 (D)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.
^17 (E)Better is a dinner of ^[b]herbs where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
