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.

^24 [a]The crown of the wise is their riches;
But the folly of fools is only folly.
²⁵ A true witness delivereth souls;
But he that ^[b]uttereth lies causeth deceit.
