Proverbs 14:14-18

¹⁴A stout-hearted man shall be filled with his own ways; and a good man with his own thoughts.

¹⁵The simple believes every word: but the prudent man betakes himself to afterthought.

¹⁶A wise man fears, and departs from evil; but the fool trusts in himself, and joins himself with the transgressor.

¹⁷A passionate man acts inconsiderately; but a sensible man bears up under many things.

¹⁸Fools shall have mischief for their portion; but the prudent shall take fast hold of understanding.
