Proverbs 14:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ A wise person fears and turns away from evil,
    but a fool is reckless and overconfident.

¹⁷ He who is quick-tempered does stupid things,
    and one who does vile things is hated.

¹⁸ Thoughtless people inherit folly,
    but the cautious are crowned with knowledge.
