16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
16 The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.
16 One who is wise is cautious
16 The wise watch their steps and avoid evil; fools are headstrong and reckless.
16 A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.
16 The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.
291 Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy.
291 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
291 For people who hate discipline and only get more stubborn, There'll come a day when life tumbles in and they break, but by then it'll be too late to help them.
291 He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
291 Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.
(Read Proverbs 29:1)
If God wounds, who can heal? The word of God warns all to flee from the wrath to come, to the hope set before us in Jesus Christ.
