Proverbs 15:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 15:13

Compare all

11 ^aHell¹ and Destruction are before the Lord;
So how much more ^bthe hearts of the sons of men.

12 ^aA scoffer does not love one who corrects him,
Nor will he go to the wise.

13 ^aA merry heart makes a cheerful¹ countenance,
But ^bby sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

15 All the days of the afflicted are evil,
^aBut he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

16 ^aBetter is a little with the fear of the Lord,
Than great treasure with trouble.

17 ^aBetter is a dinner of¹ herbs where love is,
Than a fatted calf with hatred.
