Proverbs 22:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995

3 The (A)prudent sees the evil and hides himself,
But the [a]naive go on, and are punished for it.
4 The reward of humility and the [b]fear of the Lord
Are riches, honor and life.
5 (B)Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards himself will be far from them.
