Proverbs 14:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 14:16

Compare all

14 The backslider in heart will be ^afilled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied¹ from ^babove.

15 The simple believes every word,
But the prudent considers well his steps.

16 ^aA wise man fears and departs from evil,
But a fool rages and is self-confident.

17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,
And a man of wicked intentions is hated.

18 The simple inherit folly,
But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 The evil will bow before the good,
And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
