Proverbs 14:18 BBE

¹⁶  The wise man, fearing, keeps himself from evil; but the foolish man goes on in his pride, with no thought of danger.

¹⁷  He who is quickly angry will do what is foolish, but the man of good sense will have quiet.

¹⁸  Foolish behaviour is the heritage of the simple, but men of good sense are crowned with knowledge.

¹⁹  The knees of the evil are bent before the good; and sinners go down in the dust at the doors of the upright.

²⁰  The poor man is hated even by his neighbour, but the man of wealth has numbers of friends.
