Proverbs 15:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 The (A)mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.
15 All the days of the afflicted are bad,
But a [a]cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 (B)Better is a little with the [b]fear of the Lord
Than great treasure and turmoil with it.
