Proverbs 14:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ The simple believes every word,
    but the prudent man considers his steps.

¹⁶ A wise man fears and departs from evil,
    but the fool rages and is self-confident.

¹⁷ He who is quick-tempered deals foolishly,
    and a man of wicked devices is hated.
