“Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked;whoever guards his soul stays far from them.”
Proverbs 22:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3A prudent man sees danger and hides himself;but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4The result of humility and the fear of Yahwehis wealth, honor, and life. 5Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked;whoever guards his soul stays far from them. 6Train up a child in the way he should go,and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7The rich rule over the poor.The borrower is servant to the lender.
