Proverbs 14:12-16
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 14

12There is a way which seems right to a person, But its end is the way of death. 13Even in laughter the heart may be in pain, And the end of joy may be grief. 14One with a wayward heart will have his fill of his own ways, But a good person will be satisfied with his. 15The naive believes everything, But the sensible person considers his steps. 16A wise person is cautious and turns away from evil, But a fool is arrogant and careless.
King James Version

Chapter 14

12There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
13Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
14The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
15The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 14

12There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way to death.
13Even in laughter a heart may be sad, and joy may end in grief.
14The disloyal one will get what his conduct deserves, and a good one, what his deeds deserve.
15The inexperienced one believes anything, but the sensible one watches his steps.
16A wise person is cautious and turns from evil, but a fool is easily angered and is careless.
New Living Translation

Chapter 14

12There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
13Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.
14Backsliders get what they deserve; good people receive their reward.
15Only simpletons believe everything they’re told! The prudent carefully consider their steps.
16The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.
English Standard Version

Chapter 14

12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. 13Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief. 14The backslider in heart will be filled with the fruit of his ways, and a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways. 15 The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps. 16 One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless.
New International Version

Chapter 14

12There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
13Even in laughter the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief.
14The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good rewarded for theirs.
15The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.
16The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.
New King James Version

Chapter 14

12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 13Even in laughter the heart may sorrow, And the end of mirth may be grief. 14The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above. 15The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps. 16 A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.
