But ^bits end is the way of ^cdeath.

And ^athe end of mirth may be grief.

14 The backslider in heart will be ^afilled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied¹ from ^babove.

But the prudent considers well his steps.

16 ^aA wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.

17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
And a man of wicked intentions is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
