Proverbs 14:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ A wise person is cautious and turns away from evil,
but a fool is careless and overconfident.
¹⁷ A short-tempered person acts stupidly,
and a person who plots evil is hated.
¹⁸ Gullible people are gifted with stupidity,
but sensible people are crowned with knowledge.
