Proverbs - 15:13 Meaning

“A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:11-13 There is nothing that can be hid from the eyes of God, not even man's thoughts. 12. A scorner cannot bear to reflect seriously within his own heart. 13. A gloomy, impatient, unthankful spirit, springing from pride and undue attachment to worldly objects, renders a man uneasy to himself and others.

“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
