10. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.
11. The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the upright flourisheth.
12. There is a way--right before a man, And its latter end [are] ways of death.
13. Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy [is] affliction.
14. From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man--from his fruits.
15. The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.
16. The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.
17. Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.
