Berean Standard Bible

Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool displays his folly.

Context

14The teaching * of the wise is a fountain of life, turning one from the snares of death. 15Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the faithless is difficult. 16Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool displays his folly. 17A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing. 18Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
