12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But in the end it leads to death.
13 Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful, And mirth may end in heaviness.
14 The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; Likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.
15 The simple believes everything, But the prudent man carefully considers his ways.
16 A wise man fears, and shuns evil, But the fool is hotheaded and reckless.
17 He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, And a crafty man is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
