New Testament

Proverbs 15:13-21 New Living Translation (NLT)

13. A glad heart makes a happy face;a broken heart crushes the spirit.

14. A wise person is hungry for knowledge,while the fool feeds on trash.

15. For the despondent, every day brings trouble;for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.

16. Better to have little, with fear for the lord,than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.

17. A bowl of vegetables with someone you loveis better than steak with someone you hate.

18. A hot-tempered person starts fights;a cool-tempered person stops them.

19. A lazy person’s way is blocked with briers,but the path of the upright is an open highway.

20. Sensible children bring joy to their father;foolish children despise their mother.

21. Foolishness brings joy to those with no sense;a sensible person stays on the right path.
