King James Version
"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished."
— Proverbs 27:12, King James Version
“A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; Butthe simple pass on, and suffer for it. ”
“A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.”
“A shrewd person saw danger–he hid himself; the naive passed right on by– they had to pay for it.”
“The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.”
“The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.”
“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
