Proverbs 14:16-18
English Standard Version

16 (A)One who is wise is cautious[a] and (B)turns away from evil,
    but a fool is reckless and careless.
17 A man of (C)quick temper acts foolishly,
    and a man of evil devices is hated.
18 The simple inherit folly,
    but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
