Proverbs 15:13-19

¹³A joyful heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

¹⁴The heart of the discerning seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

¹⁵All the days of oppressed people are miserable, but a cheerful heart has an unending feast.

¹⁶Better is little with the fear of Yahweh than great treasure with confusion.

¹⁷Better is a meal with vegetables where there is love than a fatted calf served with hatred.

¹⁸An angry man stirs up arguments, but a person who is slow to anger quiets a quarrel.

¹⁹The path of the sluggard is like a place with a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a built-up highway.
