7All things are adverse to a foolish man; but wise lips are the weapons of discretion.
8The wisdom of the prudent will understand their ways; but the folly of fools leads astray.
9The houses of transgressors will need purification; but the houses of the just are acceptable.
10If a man's mind is intelligent, his soul is sorrowful; and when he rejoices, he has no fellowship with pride.
11The houses of ungodly men shall be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly shall stand.
12There is a way which seems to be right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depth of hell.
13Grief mingles not with mirth; and joy in the end comes to grief.
14A stout-hearted man shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man with his own thoughts.
