Proverbs 14:13-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

13. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of mirth is heaviness and grief.

14. The backslider in heart [from God and from fearing God] shall be filled with [the fruit of] his own ways, and a good man shall be satisfied with [the fruit of] his ways [with the holy thoughts and actions which his heart prompts and in which he delights].

15. The simpleton believes every word he hears, but the prudent man looks and considers well where he is going.

16. A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil, but the fool bears himself insolently and is [presumptuously] confident.

17. He who foams up quickly and flies into a passion deals foolishly, and a man of wicked plots and plans is hated.
