Proverbs 14:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ A wise person is careful and stays out of trouble.
    But a foolish person is quick to act and careless.

¹⁷ A person who quickly loses his temper does foolish things.
    But a person with understanding remains calm.

¹⁸ Foolish people get nothing for their work but more foolishness.
    But wise people are rewarded with knowledge.
