Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁴ A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words,
And the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him.
¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.
¹⁶ A fool’s anger is known at once,
But a prudent man conceals dishonor.
