Proverbs 14:16-18

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ A wise person ^[a]is cautious and ^(A)turns away from evil,
But a fool is arrogant and careless.
¹⁷ A quick-tempered person acts foolishly,
And a person of evil devices is hated.
¹⁸ The naive inherit foolishness,
But the sensible are crowned with knowledge.
