Proverbs 14:13-18 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

13. Even in laughter the heart may ache,and rejoicing may end in grief.

14. The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways,and the good rewarded for theirs.

15. The simple believe anything,but the prudent give thought to their steps.

16. The wise fear the Lord and shun evil,but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.

17. A quick-tempered person does foolish things,and the one who devises evil schemes is hated.

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