Proverbs 22:3-5
Common English Bible

3 Prudent people see trouble and hide,
    while the simpleminded go right to it and get punished.
4 The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord
    is wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorns and nets are in the path of the crooked;
    those who guard their lives keep their distance.
