New King James Version

Proverbs 15:14-19 New King James Version (NKJV)

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,But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.

16. Better is a little with the fear of the Lord,Than great treasure with trouble.

17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,Than a fatted calf with hatred.

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

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