Proverbs 14:10, 12-16

Proverbs 14:10 ESV

The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.

Proverbs 14:12-16 ESV

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief. The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways. The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.
