Proverbs 14:14-18

English Standard Version

¹⁴ The backslider in heart will be ^(A)filled with the fruit of his ways,
    and ^(B)a good man will be filled with the fruit of his ways.
^15 (C)The simple believes everything,
    but the prudent gives thought to his steps.
^16 (D)One who is wise is cautious^[a] and ^(E)turns away from evil,
    but a fool is reckless and careless.
¹⁷ A man of ^(F)quick temper acts foolishly,
    and a man of evil devices is hated.
¹⁸ The simple inherit folly,
    but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
