Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, 2 And he sins who hastens with his feet. The foolishness of a man twists his way, 3 And his heart frets against the LORD.

[b] A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; 19 For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. Listen to counsel and receive instruction, 20 That you may be wise in your latter days. There are many plans in a man’s heart, 21 Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel —that will stand. What is desired in a man is kindness,
