Proverbs 14:12-15

→Bible→Old Testament→Proverbs
RSV

¹² There is a way which seems right to a man,
but its end is the way to death.
¹³ Even in laughter the heart is sad,
and the end of joy is grief.
¹⁴ A perverse man will be filled with the fruit of his ways,
and a good man with the fruit of his deeds.

¹⁵ The simple believes everything,
but the prudent looks where he is going.

NRSV

¹⁵ The simple believe everything,
but the clever consider their steps.

KJV

¹⁵ The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
