Proverbs 14:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ Don't be stupid
    and believe all you hear;
be smart and know
    where you are headed.
¹⁶ Only a stupid fool
    is never cautious—
so be extra careful
    and stay out of trouble.
¹⁷ Fools have quick tempers,
and no one likes you
    if you can't be trusted.
