In Context

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, And the folly of fools is deceit.

9 Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright — a pleasing thing.

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.
