Proverbs 15:14-16

Amplified Bible

¹⁴
The mind of the intelligent and discerning seeks knowledge and eagerly inquires after it,
But the mouth of the [stubborn] fool feeds on foolishness.^(A)
¹⁵
All the days of the afflicted are bad,
But a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of the circumstances].
¹⁶
Better is a little with the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the Lord
Than great treasure and trouble with it.^(B)
