26 Yet uncertainty in these things has also undermined many persons and has detained their minds in vanity.
27 A hardened heart will have evil in the very end, and he who loves peril will perish in it.
28 A heart advancing in two directions will not have success, and the depraved heart will be scandalized in this way.
29 A wicked heart will be burdened with sorrows, and a sinner will add further sins.
30 The synagogue of the arrogant will not be healed. For the stalk of sinfulness will take root in them, and it will not be understood.
31 The heart of the wise is understood by wisdom, and a good ear will listen to wisdom with all its desire.
32 A wise and understanding heart will abstain from sins, and will have success in works of justice.
