Proverbs 18:14–15

A man’s spirit will endure sickness,

but a crushed spirit who can bear?

An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,

and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

The human spirit can endure in sickness,

but a crushed spirit who can bear?

The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,

for the ears of the wise seek it out.

A person’s spirit can endure sickness,

but who can survive a broken spirit?

The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge,

and the ear of the wise seeks it.

The human spirit can endure a sick body,

but who can bear a crushed spirit?

Intelligent people are always ready to learn.

Their ears are open for knowledge.

The spirit of a man will endure his sickness,

but a broken spirit, who may bear it?

An intelligent mind will acquire knowledge,

and the ear of the wise will seek knowledge.

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;

But a wounded spirit who can bear?

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;

And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
