Proverbs 22:3-5
New Catholic Bible

3 A prudent man perceives danger and seeks shelter,
    while the simple[a] continue forward and pay for it.
4 The reward of humility and fear of the Lord[b]
    is wealth, honor, and life.
5 Thorns and snares cover the path of the perverse;
    whoever values his life will steer clear of them.
