Proverbs 22:5–6

Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked;

whoever guards his soul will keep far from them.

Train up a child in the way he should go;

even when he is old he will not depart from it.

In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,

but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

Start children off on the way they should go,

and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

There are thorns and snares on the way of the crooked;

the one who guards himself stays far from them.

Start a youth out on his way;

even when he grows old he will not depart from it.

Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road;

whoever values life will avoid it.

Direct your children onto the right path,

and when they are older, they will not leave it.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;

he who guards himself will keep away from them.

Train the child concerning his way;

even when he is old, he will not stray from it.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward:

He that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

Train up a child in the way he should go:

And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
