11The house of wicked people will be destroyed, but the tent of good people will prosper.
12There's a way that seems to be right, but in the end it's the way of death.
13Even when you're laughing you can be feeling sad—joy can end in grief.
14Disloyal people are repaid for what they do, and good people are rewarded.
15Stupid people believe whatever they're told, but sensible people think about what they're doing.
16Wise people are careful and avoid evil, but stupid people are confidently reckless.
17Quick-tempered people act foolishly, while people who make evil plans are hated.
18The inheritance of stupid people is stupidity, but sensible people are rewarded with knowledge.
19Evil people bow down before good people, and the wicked bow down at the doors of those who do right.
