Proverbs 14:13-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. Even in laughter the heart may ache,and the end of joy may be grief.

14. The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways,and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.

15. The simple believes everything,but the prudent gives thought to his steps.

16. One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil,but a fool is reckless and careless.
