Proverbs 14:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹²Some people think they are doing what’s right.
But what they are doing will really kill them.

¹³When someone is laughing, he may be sad inside.
And when the laughter is over, there is sorrow.

¹⁴Evil people will be paid back for their evil ways.
And good people will be rewarded for their good ones.
