New American Standard Bible

14 The (A)mind of the intelligent seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 All the days of the [a]needy are bad,
But a [b]cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 (B)Better is a little with [c]the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with [d]the treasure.
