Proverbs 15:15 Context
13A merry heart maketh a cheerefull countenance: but by sorrow of the heart, the spirit is broken. 14The heart of him that hath vnderstanding, seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fooles feedeth on foolishnesse. 15All the dayes of the afflicted are euill: but he that is of a merry heart, hath a continuall feast. 16Better is little with the feare of the Lord, then great treasure, and trouble therewith. 17Better is a dinner of herbes where loue is, then a stalled oxe, and hatred therewith.
