Proverbs 19:2-4
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
3 The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
