Proverbs 14:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ The perverse man suffers the consequences of his ways,
    while a good man reaps what his deeds deserve.
¹⁵ A simple man believes everything he hears,
    but a prudent man carefully considers every step.
¹⁶ A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,
    but the fool is reckless and shows no restraint.
