15 The innocent trust every word. The astute one considers his own steps. Nothing good will be for the deceitful son. But the wise servant shall act prosperously and his way will be set in order.
16 The wise fear, and so turn away from evil. The foolish leap ahead with confidence.
17 The impatient will work foolishness. And a resourceful man is hated.
18 The childish will possess foolishness, and the discerning will anticipate knowledge.
19 The evil will fall down before the good. And the impious will fall down before the gates of the just.
