Proverbs 14:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil, but the fool bears himself insolently and is [presumptuously] confident.

¹⁷ He who foams up quickly and flies into a passion deals foolishly, and a man of wicked plots and plans is hated.

¹⁸ The simple acquire folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
