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)
