Proverbs 14:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ Someone with a quick temper does foolish things,
    but someone with understanding remains calm.

¹⁸ Fools are rewarded with nothing but more foolishness,
    but the wise are rewarded with knowledge.

¹⁹ Evil people will bow down to those who are good;
    the wicked will bow down at the door of those who do right.
