10  The heart knows its own ^rbitterness,

and no stranger shares its joy.

13  Even in laughter the heart may ache,

and ^vthe end of joy may be ^wgrief.

13  ^wA glad heart makes a cheerful face,

but by ^xsorrow of heart the spirit is ^ycrushed.

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.
