Proverbs 22:3
King James VersionSource notes
“A prudent foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
Context
1A name rather to be chosen than great riches, loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2The rich and poor meet together: the LORD the maker of them all.
3A prudent foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4By humility the fear of the LORD riches, and honour, and life.
5Thorns snares in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
