Proverbs 14:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ The simpleton believes every word he hears, but the prudent man looks and considers well where he is going.

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.
