8The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way; but the folly of fools is deceit.
9The fool maketh a mockery of guilt; but among the upright there is good will.
10The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and with its joy can no stranger intermeddle.
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.
