Proverbs 12:25

New International Version

²⁵Anxiety weighs down the heart,^(A)
but a kind word cheers it up.

Proverbs 12:25

King James Version

²⁵Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

²²A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed^(A) spirit dries up the bones.^(B)

²²A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

¹⁴The human spirit can endure in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?^(A)

¹⁴The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

New International Version (NIV)
