Proverbs 19:1-3
International Standard Version

The Priorities of Life Contrasted

19 A poor man who walks blamelessly is better
than a fool who speaks perversely.

2 Furthermore, it isn’t good to be ignorant,[a]
    and whoever rushes into things[b] misses the mark.
3 A man’s foolishness ruins his life,[c]
    yet his heart rages against the Lord.
