New Testament

Proverbs 14:15-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. A childish person believes anything. But a wise person thinks about how he lives.

16. A wise person has respect for the Lord and avoids evil. But a foolish person gets mad and is thoughtless.

17. Anyone who gets angry quickly does foolish things. And a man who is tricky is hated.

18. Childish people act in keeping with their foolish ways. But knowledge makes wise people feel like kings.

19. Evil people will bow down in front of good people. And those who do wrong will bow down at the gates of those who do right.

20. Poor people are avoided even by their neighbors. But rich people have many friends.

21. Anyone who hates his neighbor commits sin. But blessed is the person who is kind to those in need.
