8The wisdom of the prudent will understand their ways; but the folly of fools leads astray.

11The houses of ungodly men shall be utterly destroyed; but the tabernacles of them that walk uprightly shall stand.
12There is a way which seems to be right with men, but the ends of it reach to the depths of hell.
13Grief mingles not with mirth; and joy in the end comes to grief.
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.

23With every one who is careful there is abundance: but the pleasure-taking and indolent shall be in lack.
