## Proverbs 14:11-13 in Context (Verses 8–16 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/8) The wisdom of the prudent *is* to understand his way: but the folly of fools *is* deceit.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/9) Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous *there is* favour.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/10) The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/11) The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof *are* the ways of death.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/13) Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth *is* heaviness.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/14) The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man *shall be satisfied* from himself.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/15) The simple believeth every word: but the prudent *man* looketh well to his going.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/14/16) A wise *man* feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
