A continued theme throughout the book of Proverbs and especially in chapter 14 is that sin and wickedness is only temporary and has consequences. Sin will cause you pain and hurt in this lifetime (see vs. 11). The old saying is, if you play with fire, you're bound to get burned. Maybe not this time, or the next, but if you get too involved in unrighteous living it will reap negative results. And, if you don't repent of your sin and accept Christ's sacrifice, you will be judged for your sin when you die. Sin is a path of destruction, leading only to death.
Fortunately, the counter is a life of righteousness in Christ Jesus. Continue to study and pray that you will remember the warnings of Solomon, but also pray for God to bring remembrance the verses about righteous living.
