Proverbs 22:3-5

New Living Translation

³A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.

⁴True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life.

⁵Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road;
whoever values life will avoid it.

Proverbs 22:3-5

New International Version

³The prudent see danger and take refuge,^(A)
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.^(B)

⁴Humility is the fear of the Lord;
its wages are riches and honor^(C) and life.^(D)

⁵In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,^(E)
but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
