Proverbs 22:4-6

Authorized (King James) Version

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

⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward:
he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

⁶Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
