13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
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.

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.
