Proverbs 12:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 An abundance of good things flow from the fruit of one’s lips,
and a man’s labor will give him a suitable reward.[a]
15 The fool is convinced of the rightness of his ways,
but the man who listens to advice shows wisdom.
16 A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult.
