9
Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is favor.
10
The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its joy.
11
The house of the wicked will be overthrown, But the tent of the upright will flourish.
12
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
13
Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief.
14
The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above.
15
The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.
16
A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.
17
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, And a man of wicked intentions is hated.
18
The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19
The evil will bow before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
