Proverbs

⁸The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. ⁹The foolish make a mock at guilt: 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.
