13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
but heartache crushes the spirit.
15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched,
but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
16 Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great wealth with turmoil.
17 Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened calf with hatred.
30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the bones.
Proverbs 17:

but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

but a crushed spirit who can bear?

apples of gold in settings of silver.

is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him;
he refreshes the spirit of his masters.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.
Proverbs 29:
6 An evil man is snared by his own sin,
but a righteous one can sing and be glad.
