Proverbs 18:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ A cheerful spirit gives strength even during sickness.
    But you can’t keep going if you have a broken spirit.

¹⁵ Those whose hearts understand what is right get knowledge.
    That’s because the ears of those who are wise listen for it.

¹⁶ A gift opens the door
    and helps the giver meet important people.
