Proverbs 14:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
    but a prudent man is long-suffering.
¹⁸ The simple are adorned with folly,
    but the prudent have knowledge as their crown.
¹⁹ Evil men will bow down before the good,
    and the wicked will do so at the gates of the righteous.
