Proverbs 14:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ The simple will believe every word,
    but the clever will consider his step.
¹⁶ The wise is cautious and turns from evil,
    but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.
¹⁷ He who is short of temper^[a] will act foolishly,
    and the man who schemes will be hated.
