(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]
