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.
Proverbs 22:3-5

but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
