Proverbs 22:3-5
The Voice

3 Prudent people see trouble coming and hide,
    but the naive walk right into it and take a beating.
4 A humble person who fears the Eternal
    can expect to receive wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorny branches and traps lie ahead for those who follow perverse paths;
    those who want to preserve themselves will steer clear of them.
