Proverbs 14:18

Compare all

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.

20 ^aThe poor man is hated even by his own neighbor,
But¹ the rich has many ^bfriends.
