Proverbs 14:17 in Context — Proverbs 14

15 O ingênuo crê em toda palavra, mas o prudente pensa cuidadosamente sobre seus passos.

16 O sábio teme, e se afasta do mal; porém o tolo se precipita e se acha seguro.

17 Quem se ira rapidamente faz loucuras, e o homem de maus pensamentos será odiado.

18 Os ingênuos herdarão a tolice, mas os prudentes serão coroados [com] o conhecimento.

19 Os maus se inclinarão perante a face dos bons, e os perversos diante das portas do justo.
