14 The heart of him that hath understanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is fed with foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil; but a good [a]conscience is a continual feast.
16 (A)Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith.
