Proverbs 15:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴A discerning mind seeks knowledge,^(A)
but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.^(B)

but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.

than great treasure with turmoil.^(C)

Proverbs 15:14-16

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

Than great treasure with trouble.
