9. Fools mock a compensation offering,but favor is with those who do right.

10. The heart knows its own distress;another person can’t share its joy.

11. The house of the wicked is destroyed,but the tent flourishes for those who do right.

12. There is a path that may seem straight to someone,but in the end it is a path to death.

13. The heart feels pain even in laughter,and in the end, joy turns to sorrow.
