Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 12 of 27

"A prudent foreseeth the evil, hideth himself; the simple pass on, are punished."
Proverbs 27:12

In context

10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better a neighbour near than a brother far off.

11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

12A prudent foreseeth the evil, hideth himself; the simple pass on, are punished.

13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
