Proverbs 15:15


Proverbs 15:14 Proverbs 15:15 (KJV) Proverbs 15:16
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [hath] a continual feast.
Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
