Proverbs 16:17

American Standard Version

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

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

³A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself;
But the simple pass on, and ^[a]suffer for it.

⁵Thorns and snares are in the path of the froward; he that doth keep his soul shall stay far from them.

⁵Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse:
He that keepeth his soul shall be far from them.
