¹⁰ The heart^[a] knows the bitterness of its soul,^[b]
    but in its joy, it will not share itself with a stranger.

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

¹³ A heart^[a] of gladness will make good countenance,^[b]
    but in sorrow of heart^[c] a spirit is broken.

²² A cheerful heart is good medicine,
    but a downcast spirit will dry out bones.

¹⁴ The spirit of a man will endure his sickness,
    but a broken spirit, who may bear it?

²⁰ Like one who removes a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on natron,^[a]
    is he who sings songs to a heavy heart.

¹¹ Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad,
    and I will answer him who reproaches me with a word.

⁶ In transgression, an evil man is a snare,
    but the righteous will sing and rejoice.^[a]
