13 A joyful heart brightens one’s face,but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.
14 An understanding heart seeks knowledge;but fools feed on folly.
15 All the days of the needy are hard,but a happy heart has a continual feast.
16 Better a little with fear of the Lordthan a great treasure with turmoil.
17 Better a meal of greens with lovethan a plump calf with hate.
18 Hotheads stir up conflict,but patient people calm down strife.
19 The path of the lazy is like a hedge of thorns,but the way of those who do right is a clear road.
