Proverbs 15:11-15
View Full Chapter
11Death and Destruction Hebrew Abaddon lie open before the LORD — how much more do human hearts!
12Mockers resent correction, so they avoid the wise.
13A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
14The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
15All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
