10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
10 The heart knoweth his own
10 The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy.
10 The person who shuns the bitter moments of friends will be an outsider at their celebrations.
10 The heart knows its own bitterness, And a stranger does not share its joy.
10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy.

Commentary on Proverbs 14:10
(Read Proverbs 14:10)
We do not know what stings of conscience, or consuming passions, torment the prosperous sinner. Nor does the world know the peace of mind a serious Christian enjoys, even in poverty and sickness.
