Proverbs 14:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Anyone who gets angry quickly does foolish things.
    And a person who is tricky is hated.

¹⁸ Childish people act in keeping with their foolish ways.
    But knowledge makes wise people feel like kings.

¹⁹ Evil people will bow down in front of good people.
    And those who do wrong will bow down at the gates of those who do right.
