New International Reader's Version
Proverbs 15:14-16
New International Reader's Version
14 A heart that understands what is right looks for knowledge.
But the mouths of foolish people feed on what is foolish.
15 All the days of those who are crushed are filled with pain and suffering.
But a cheerful heart enjoys a good time that never ends.
16 It is better to have respect for the Lord and have little
than to be rich and have trouble.
Proverbs 15:14-16

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)

than great wealth with turmoil.(C)
