New American Standard Bible

¹⁷The ^(A)highway of the upright is to turn away from evil;
One who watches his way protects his ^[a]life.

Proverbs 16:17

King James Version

¹⁷The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

³A ^(A)prudent person sees evil and hides himself,
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.

³A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

⁵^(A)Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
One who guards himself will be far from them.

⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
