¹⁰ A heart knows its own bitterness,
and no stranger can share its joy.

¹³ Even in laughter a heart can ache,
and the end of joy may be grief.

¹³ A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
but a sorrowful heart crushes the spirit.

²² A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

¹⁴ A man’s spirit can endure illness,
but who can bear a broken spirit?

²⁰ Singing songs to a despondent heart
    is like taking off a coat on a cold day
    or like vinegar on baking soda.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart,
so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.

⁶ An evil man sets a trap with his sin,
but a righteous person sings and rejoices.
