13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.
13 A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.
13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
13 A glad heart makes a happy face; a broken heart crushes the spirit.
15 All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, but the cheerful of heart has a continual feast.
15 A miserable heart means a miserable life; a cheerful heart fills the day with song.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
15 For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
(Read Proverbs 15:15)
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.

Commentary on Proverbs 15:13
(Read Proverbs 15:13)
A gloomy, impatient, unthankful spirit, springing from pride and undue attachment to worldly objects, renders a man uneasy to himself and others.
