Proverbs 15:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ The mind of one who is wise seeks further knowledge,
    but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
¹⁵ Every day is wretched for those who are sorrowing,
    but to one who is cheerful, every day is a perpetual feast.^[a]
16 It is better to have a little and fear the Lord^[b]
    than to possess immense wealth and suffer anguish.
