Proverbs 15:14
King James VersionSource notes
“The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.”
Context
11Hell and destruction before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
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 evil: but he that is of a merry heart a continual feast.
16Better little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17Better a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
