Proverbs 16:17

Common English Bible

¹⁷The road of those who do right turns away from evil;
those who protect their path guard their lives.

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

⁵Thorns and nets are in the path of the crooked;
those who guard their lives keep their distance.
