Proverbs 14:9-16

⁹A trespass-offering mocketh fools; But among the upright there is good will.

¹⁰The heart knoweth its own bitterness; And a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.

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

¹²There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.

¹³Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; And the end of mirth is heaviness.

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

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

¹⁶A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.
