Proverbs 14:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight.

¹⁶ A wise man feareth and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over and is confident.

¹⁷ The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful.
