Proverbs 22:5

Compare all

3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But the simple pass on and are ^apunished.

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.

6 ^aTrain up a child in the way he should go,
¹And when he is old he will not depart from it.

7 The ^arich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.
