Proverbs 19:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

2 Desire without knowledge is not good;
    and whoever acts hastily, blunders.[a]
3 Their own folly leads people astray;
    in their hearts they rage against the Lord.[b]
4 Wealth adds many friends,
    but the poor are left friendless.(A)

Footnotes

  1. 19:2 When not guided by wisdom, appetite—or desire—is not good. “Running feet” (so the Hebrew) miss the mark, i.e., do not reach their destination.
  2. 19:3 One’s own folly destroys one’s life. It is an indication of that folly that one blames God rather than oneself.
