Proverbs 15:30-32
Contemporary English Version

30 A friendly smile
    makes you happy,
and good news
    makes you feel strong.
31 Healthy correction is good,
and if you accept it,
    you will be wise.
32 You hurt only yourself
    by rejecting instruction,
but it makes good sense
    to accept it.
