Proverbs 14:15-17

New Life Version

¹⁵The one who is easy to fool believes everything, but the wise man looks where he goes.

¹⁶A wise man fears God and turns away from what is sinful, but a fool is full of pride and is not careful.

¹⁷He who has a quick temper acts in a foolish way, and a man who makes sinful plans is hated.
