Proverbs 12:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Many good things come from what people say.
    And the work of their hands rewards them.

¹⁵ The way of foolish people seems right to them.
    But those who are wise listen to advice.

¹⁶ Foolish people are easily upset.
    But wise people pay no attention to hurtful words.
