Context of Proverbs 14:11
9Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 10The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy. The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 12There is a way which seemeth right to a man, but the end of it are the ways of death. 13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
