A wise man fears * and turns from evil, but a fool is careless and reckless.
Context
14Wasio na imani watapatilizwa kikamilifu kwa ajili ya njia zao,
naye mtu mwema atapewa thawabu kwa ajili ya njia yake. 15Mtu mjinga huamini kila kitu,
bali mwenye busara hufikiria hatua zake. 16Mtu mwenye hekima humcha Bwana na kuepuka mabaya,
bali mpumbavu hukasirika kwa hamaki na uzembe. 17Mtu anayekasirika kwa haraka hufanya mambo ya upumbavu,
naye mtu wa hila huchukiwa. 18Mjinga hurithi upumbavu,
bali wenye busara huvikwa maarifa kichwani kama taji.
