15The thoughtless believeth every word; but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
16A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; but the fool behaveth overbearingly, and is confident.
17He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly; and a man of wicked devices is hated.
18The thoughtless come into possession of folly; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20The poor is hated even of his own neighbour; but the rich hath many friends.
