Proverbs 14:12-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

13. Even in laughter a heart may be sad,and joy may end in grief.

14. The disloyal one will get what his conduct deserves,and a good man, what his deeds deserve.

15. The inexperienced one believes anything, but the sensible one watches his steps.

16. A wise man is cautious and turns from evil, but a fool is easily angered and is careless.

17. A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,and a man who schemes is hated.

18. The inexperienced inherit foolishness,but the sensible are crowned with knowledge.

19. The evil bow before those who are good,the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.

20. A poor man is hated even by his neighbor, but there are many who love the rich.

21. The one who despises his neighbor sins, but whoever shows kindness to the poor will be happy.
