Proverbs 14:15-16

but the clever will consider his step.
16 The wise is cautious and turns from evil,
but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.

15 The simple believeth every word;
But the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil;
But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.

but he who utters lies is a betrayer.
