Proverbs 14:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ A wise person is careful to keep away from trouble.
    But a fool is careless and he thinks that he is always right.
¹⁷ A person who quickly becomes angry does silly things.
    And people hate anyone with cruel ideas.
¹⁸ Silly people do foolish things, and they receive what they deserve.
    But wise people receive honour for their knowledge.
