Proverbs 15:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 15:16

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.

18 ^aA wrathful man stirs up strife,
But he who is slow to anger allays contention.

19 ^aThe way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
