Proverbs 22:5 Context
3A prudent man foreseeth the euill, and hideth himselfe: but the simple passe on, and are punished. 4By humilitie and the feare of the Lord, are riches, and honour, and life. 5Thornes and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doeth keepe his soule, shalbe farre from them. 6Traine vp a childe in the way he should goe: and when he is olde, hee will not depart from it. 7The rich ruleth ouer the poore, and the borrower is seruant to the lender.
