Proverbs 15:13

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹² The hater of authority has no love for teaching: he will not go to the wise. ¹³ A glad heart makes a shining face, but by the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. ¹⁴ The heart of the man of good sense goes in search of knowledge, but foolish things are the food of the unwise.
