15 Good sense wins favor,

but the way of the treacherous is their ruin.

16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,

but a fool flaunts his folly.

15 Good understanding giveth favour:

But the way of transgressors is hard.

16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge:

But a fool layeth open his folly.

15 A person with good sense is respected;

a treacherous person is headed for destruction.

16 Wise people think before they act;

fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.

15 Good understanding gains favor,

But the way of the unfaithful is hard.

16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,

But a fool lays open his folly.

15 People with good understanding will be well liked,

but the lives of those who are not trustworthy are hard.

16 Every wise person acts with good sense,

but fools show how foolish they are.

15 Good understanding giveth favor;

But the way of the transgressor is hard.

16 Every prudent man worketh with knowledge;

But a fool flaunteth his folly.

15 Good understanding procureth favour; but the way of the treacherous is hard.

16 Every prudent man acteth with knowledge; but the foolish layeth open his folly.

15 Good sense brings favor, 

but the way of treacherous people is always the same.

16 Any sensible person acts with knowledge, 

but a fool displays stupidity. 

15 Good sense wins favor,

but the way of the treacherous never changes.

16 Every sensible person acts knowledgeably,

but a fool displays his stupidity.

15 Good sense wins favor,

but the way of the faithless is their ruin.

16 The clever do all things intelligently,

but the fool displays folly.

15 Good sense grants favor,

but the way of the faithless is coarse.

16 Anyone who is clever will act with intelligence,

but the fool will display folly.

15 Good understanding wins favor.

But the way of liars doesn’t last.

16 Wise people act in keeping with the knowledge they have.

But foolish people show how foolish they are.

15 Good understanding produces favor,

But the way of the treacherous is hard.

16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,

But a fool displays folly.
