9. The wicked scorn a guilt offering,but the upright find acceptance.

10. The heart knows its own bitterness,and its joy no stranger shares.

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

12. Sometimes a way seems right,but the end of it leads to death!

13. Even in laughter the heart may be sad,and the end of joy may be sorrow.

14. From their own ways turncoats are sated,from their own actions, the loyal.
