13Grief mingles not with mirth; And joy in the end comes to grief.
14A stouthearted man shall be filled with his own ways; And a good man with his own thoughts.
15The simple believes every word: But the prudent man betakes himself to afterthought.
16A wise man fears, and departs from evil; But the fool trusts in himself, and joins himself with the transgressor.
17A passionate man acts inconsiderately; But a sensible man bears up under many things.
18Fools shall have mischief for their portion; But the prudent shall take fast hold of understanding.
