Gladness and Sorrow<br>
<br>
12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. <br>
13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.<br>  
14:10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. <br> 
14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. <br> 
15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.<br>  
15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. <br> 
15:30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.<br>  
17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. <br> 
18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? <br>
25:20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.<br> 
27:7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.<br> 
27:14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.<br>
