¹⁰ The heart knoweth his own bitterness;
    and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

¹³ Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful;
    and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

¹³ A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance:
    but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

²² A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
    but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;
    but a wounded spirit who can bear?

²⁰ As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather,
and as vinegar upon nitre,
so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

¹¹ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

⁶ In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare:
but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
