Proverbs 15:15 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Afflicted - The affliction meant here is less that of outward circumstances than of a troubled and downcast spirit. Life to the cheerful is as one perpetual banquet, whether he be poor or rich. That which disturbs the feast is anxiety, the taking (anxious) thought” of Matthew 6:34.

Proverbs 15:15

15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
