Proverbs 14:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
and a man who schemes is hated.^(A)

¹⁸ The inexperienced inherit foolishness,
but the sensible are crowned with knowledge.

¹⁹ The evil bow before those who are good,
the wicked, at the gates of the righteous.
