Proverbs 15:12-17

¹²The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise.

¹³A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.

¹⁵All the days of the troubled are evil; but he whose heart is glad has an unending feast.

¹⁶Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.

¹⁷Better is a simple meal where love is, than a fat ox and hate with it.
