Proverbs 19:2

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

¹ Better a poor man who lives with integrity
than someone who has deceitful lips and is a fool. ² Even zeal is not good without knowledge,
and the one who acts hastily sins. ³ A man’s own foolishness leads him astray,
yet his heart rages against the Lord.
