Proverbs 15:13-15

King James Version

¹³A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

¹⁴The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

¹⁵All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

³⁰Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the bones.^(A)

³⁰The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
