Proverbs 14:15-16

15 The simple believes everything,
but the prudent looks where he is going.
16 A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,
but a fool throws off restraint and is careless.
Proverbs 14:15-16

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.
Proverbs 14:24-25

24 The crown of the wise is their wisdom,[a]
but folly is the garland[b] of fools.
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but one who utters lies is a betrayer.
