In context
12 There is a way--right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.
13 Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy is affliction.
14 From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man--from his fruits.
15 The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.
16 The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.
17 Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.
18 The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
