11The house of the wicked will be destroyed: but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12There is many a way which seemeth even before a man; but its end are ways unto death.
13Even in laughter the heart feeleth pain; and at its end joy is sorrow.
14The backslider in heart will have enough of his own ways; and from him departeth the good men.
15The simple believeth every word; but the prudent man understandeth his steps.
16A wise man is fearful, and departeth from evil; but the fool exciteth himself, and is confident.
17He that is soon angry committeth folly; and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18The simple inherit folly; but the prudent crown themselves with knowledge.
19The bad sink down before the good; and the wicked are at the gates of the righteous.
