Proverbs 22:3 Context
1A Good name is rather to be chosen then great riches, and louing fauour rather then siluer & golde. 2The rich and poore meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all. 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.
