¹⁰ Each heart knows its own sadness.
    And no one else can share its joy.

¹³ Even when you laugh, your heart can be hurting.
    And your joy can end in sadness.

¹³ A happy heart makes a face look cheerful.
    But a sad heart produces a broken spirit.

²² A cheerful heart makes you healthy.
    But a broken spirit dries you up.

¹⁴ A cheerful spirit gives strength even during sickness.
    But you can’t keep going if you have a broken spirit.

²⁰ You may sing songs to a troubled heart.
    But that’s like taking a coat away on a cold day.
    It’s like pouring vinegar on a wound.

¹¹ My son, be wise and bring joy to my heart.
    Then I can answer anyone who makes fun of me.

⁶ Sinful people are trapped by their own sin.
    But godly people shout for joy and are glad.
