Proverbs 14:11-13
Names of God Bible
11 The houses of wicked people will be destroyed,
    but the tents of decent people will continue to expand.
12 There is a way that seems right to a person,
    but eventually it ends in death.
13 Even while laughing a heart can ache,
    and joy can end in grief.
Proverbs 14:11-13
New International Version

11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
