Context of Proverbs 14:11
9Fools think that they do not need to do anything about their sins. But God is pleased with people who do what is right. 10When you are upset, you yourself know how sad you are. No one else can know what you are feeling, sad or happy. A wicked person's home will come to an end. But the home of a good person will continue to be strong. 12You may think that you are on a good, straight road. But in the end, that road may lead you to death. 13Somebody may be upset, even when he is laughing. After his joy has gone, he will still be sad.
