15The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.


In Context

13 Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end of joy is affliction.

14 From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a good man — from his fruits.

15 The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent attendeth to his step.

16 The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is transgressing and is confident.

17 Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked devices is hated.
