¹⁰ The heart knows its own distress;
    another person can’t share its joy.

¹³ The heart feels pain even in laughter,
    and in the end, joy turns to sorrow.

¹³ A joyful heart brightens one’s face,
    but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.

²² A joyful heart helps healing,
    but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

¹⁴ The human spirit sustains a sick person,
    but who can bear a broken spirit?

²⁰ Singing a song to a troubled heart
    is like taking off a garment on a cold day
    or putting vinegar on a wound.^[a]

¹¹ Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad,
    so I can answer those who insult me.

⁶ The wicked are snared by their own sin;^[a]
    the righteous sing and rejoice.
