Proverbs 14:16–17

One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil,

but a fool is reckless and careless.

A man of quick temper acts foolishly,

and a man of evil devices is hated.

The wise fear the Lord and shun evil,

but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

A quick-tempered person does foolish things,

and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.

A wise person is cautious and turns from evil,

but a fool is easily angered and is careless.

A quick-tempered person acts foolishly,

and one who schemes is hated.

The wise are cautious and avoid danger;

fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.

Short-tempered people do foolish things,

and schemers are hated.

The wise is cautious and turns from evil,

but the fool throws off restraint and is confident.

He who is short of temper will act foolishly,

and the man who schemes will be hated.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil:

But the fool rageth, and is confident.

He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly:

And a man of wicked devices is hated.
