Proverbs 14:11-19

¹¹The house of the wicked shall be destroyed; But the tent of the upright shall flourish.

¹²There is a way which seemeth right to a man, But its end is the way to death.

¹³Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, And the end of joy is grief.

¹⁴The perverse in heart shall be filled with his own ways; And from himself shall the good man be satisfied.

¹⁵The simple man believeth every word; But the prudent looketh well to his steps.

¹⁶The wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool is haughty and confident.

¹⁷He who is hasty in his anger will commit folly; And the man of wicked devices will be hated.

¹⁸The simple inherit folly; But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

¹⁹The evil bow before the good; Yea, the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
