Proverbs 18:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will endure his sickness,
    but a broken spirit, who may bear it?
¹⁵ An intelligent mind^[a] will acquire knowledge,
    and the ear of the wise will seek knowledge.
¹⁶ The gift of a person will open doors for him,
    and before the great, it gives him access.
