Proverbs 14:16-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

16. A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.

17. He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; And a man of wicked devices is hated.

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

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