Proverbs 15:14-16
The Message
Proverbs 15:14-16
The Message
14 An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth;
fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.
15 A miserable heart means a miserable life;
a cheerful heart fills the day with song.
16 A simple life in the Fear-of-God
is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.
Proverbs 15:14-16
New International Version
Proverbs 15:14-16
New International Version
14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge,(A)
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched,
but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.(B)
16 Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth with turmoil.(C)
The Message (MSG)
