Proverbs 14:8-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

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

9. Fools make a mock at sin,but among the righteous there is favor.

10. The heart knows its own bitterness,and a stranger does not share its joy.

11. The house of the wicked will be overthrown,but the tent of the upright will flourish.

12. There is a way that seems right to a man,but its end is the way of death.

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