Proverbs 22:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Wise people see danger and go to a safe place.
    But childish people keep going and suffer for it.

⁴ Being humble comes from having respect for the Lord.
    This will bring you wealth and honor and life.

⁵ Thorns and traps lie in the paths of evil people.
    But those who value their lives stay far away from them.
