Proverbs
Chapters 15:13-19
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
13If you are happy, your face shows it. If you are sad, your spirit feels defeated.
14Intelligent people want more knowledge, but fools only want more nonsense.
15Life is always hard for the poor, but the right attitude can turn it into a party.
16It is better to be poor and respect the Lord than to be rich and have many troubles.
17It is better to eat a little where there is love than to eat a lot where there is hate.
18A quick temper causes fights, but patience brings peace and calm.
19For lazy people, life is a path overgrown with thorns and thistles. For those who do what is right, it is a smooth highway.
