Proverbs 14:13-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful,and the end of that cheer is grief.

14. The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways,but a good man will be satisfied with his.

15. The simple believes every word,but the prudent man considers his steps.

16. A wise man fears and departs from evil,but the fool rages and is ­self-confident.

17. He who is quick-tempered deals foolishly,and a man of wicked devices is hated.

18. The simple inherit folly,but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
