10 The heart knows its own rbitterness,
and no stranger shares its joy.
13 Even in laughter the heart may ache,
13 wA glad heart makes a cheerful face,
22 oA joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit pdries up the bones.
14 A man’s spirit will endure sickness,
but pa crushed spirit who can bear?
20 Whoever jsings songs to a heavy heart
is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day,
and like vinegar on soda.
11 jBe wise, kmy son, and lmake my heart glad,
that I may manswer him who reproaches me.
6 An evil man is kensnared in his transgression,
but a righteous man lsings and rejoices.
