Proverbs 14:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 From their own ways turncoats are sated,
from their own actions, the loyal.
15 The naive believe everything,
but the shrewd watch their steps.[a]
16 The wise person is cautious and turns from evil;
the fool is reckless and gets embroiled.
Footnotes
- 14:15 The naive gullibly rely on others’ words whereas the shrewd watch their own steps.
