Proverbs 14:9-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. Foolish people don’t care if they sin.But honest people work at being right with others.

10. No one else can know your sadness.Strangers cannot share your joy.

11. The wicked person’s house will be destroyed.But a good person’s tent will still be standing.

12. Some people think they are doing what’s right.But what they are doing will really kill them.

13. When someone is laughing, he may be sad inside.And when the laughter is over, there is sorrow.

14. Evil people will be paid back for their evil ways.And good people will be rewarded for their good ones.

15. A foolish person will believe anything.But a wise person thinks about what he does.

16. A wise person is careful and stays out of trouble.But a foolish person is quick to act and careless.

17. A person who quickly loses his temper does foolish things.But a person with understanding remains calm.

18. Foolish people get nothing for their work but more foolishness.But wise people are rewarded with knowledge.
