Proverbs - 15:15 Meaning

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:14-15 A wise man seeks to gain more wisdom, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. But a carnal mind rests contented, flattering itself. 15. Some are much in affliction, and of a sorrowful spirit. Such are to be pitied, prayed for, and comforted. And others serve God with gladness of heart, and it prompts their obedience, yet they should rejoice with trembling.

“And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.”
