Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 22 of Proverbs. A good name is presented as preferable to great riches, and the rich and poor are equally under the creation of the Lord. Prudence allows a person to hide from danger, while the naive move forward without considering consequences. The teaching about sowing injustice and reaping calamity expresses a recurring moral logic. Generosity toward the poor is again connected with divine blessing.

Stachel und Stricke sind auf dem Wege des Verkehrten; wer sich aber davon fernhält, bewahrt sein Leben.
Espinas y lazos hay en el camino del perverso: El que guarda su alma se alejará de ellos.
Des épines, des pièges sont sur la voie de l'homme pervers; Celui qui garde son âme s'en éloigne.
Spine e lacci son nella via dell’uomo perverso; Chi guarda l’anima sua sarà lungi da queste cose
Espinhos e laços há no caminho do perverso; o que guarda a sua alma retira-se para longe dele.
歪曲的人路上有荊棘和羅網, 保護自己生命的,必要遠離。
