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.
20 The pauper will be hated, even by his own neighbor. Yet truly, the friends of the wealthy are many.
