Proverbs 14:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶ 
A wise man suspects danger and cautiously avoids evil,
But the fool is arrogant and careless.
¹⁷ 
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly and without self-control,
And a man of wicked schemes is hated.
¹⁸ 
The naive [are unsophisticated and easy to exploit and] inherit foolishness,
But the sensible [are thoughtful and far-sighted and] are crowned with knowledge.
