Mockers resent correction,
so they avoid the wise.
A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
but heartache crushes the spirit.
The discerning heart seeks knowledge,
but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
All the days of the oppressed are wretched,
but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.

NLTNew Living Translation
Mockers hate to be corrected,
so they stay away from the wise.
A glad heart makes a happy face;
a broken heart crushes the spirit.
A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
while the fool feeds on trash.
For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
A scoffer does not like his rebuke;
to the wise he will not go.
A heart of gladness will make good countenance,
but in sorrow of heart a spirit is broken.
The heart of him who understands will seek knowledge,
but the faces of fools, they will feed on folly.
All the days of the poor are hard,
but goodness of heart is a continuous feast.

KJV 1900King James Version
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him:
Neither will he go unto the wise.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge:
But the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted are evil:
But he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
