Proverbs 22:3-5

Modern English Version

³ A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself,
    but the simple pass on and are punished.

⁴ By humility and the fear of the Lord
    are riches, and honor, and life.

⁵ Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
    he who guards his soul will be far from them.
