Chinese (traditional)![Proverbs 27:12 - ESV](/images/simple/esv/proverbs-27-12.png)
The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it.
The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;
but the simple pass on, and are punished.A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are punished. A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. The clever see danger and hide;
but the simple go on, and suffer for it. A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. The prudent man perceives danger and seeks shelter,
while the simple continue forward and pay the penalty. Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’Next verse!With image
