Proverbs 14:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
The naive or inexperienced person [is easily misled and] believes every word he hears,
But the prudent man [is discreet and astute and] considers well where he is going.
¹⁶ 
A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil,
But the fool is arrogant and careless.
¹⁷ 
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly and without self-control,
And a man of wicked schemes is hated.
