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.
19Evil men shall fall before the good; And the ungodly shall attend at the gates of the righteous.
20Friends will hate poor friends; But the friends of the rich are many.
21He that dishonors the needy sins: But he that has pity on the poor is most blessed.
22They that go astray devise evils: But the good devise mercy and truth. The framers of evil do not understand mercy and truth: But compassion and faithfulness are with the framers of good.
23With everyone who is careful there is abundance: But the pleasure taking and indolent shall be in want.
