Proverbs 14:8-12

English Standard Version

⁸ The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way,
    but the folly of fools is deceiving.
^9 (A)Fools mock at the guilt offering,
    but the upright enjoy acceptance.^[a]
10 The heart knows its own ^(B)bitterness,
    and no stranger shares its joy.
^11 (C)The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
    but the tent of the upright will flourish.
^12 (D)There is a way that seems right to a man,
    but ^(E)its end is the way to death.^[b]
