13 A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.(A)
13 A joyful heart brightens one’s face, but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.
15 All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.
15 All the days of the needy are hard, but a happy heart has a continual feast.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the body.
30 Bright eyes give joy to the heart; good news strengthens the bones.
