Remaining with the pursuit of "wisdom" from the book of Proverbs, the verse presented in Proverbs 22:3 (KJV) holds an important life lesson. It reads,
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Every single moment of every single day, sin lurks in our path. This verse encourages us, with the guidance of God, to be our own spiritual coach. We should make an effort to "foresee the evil," and then once we identify it, we should "hide ourselves" from it.
On the contrary, those who lack wisdom "pass on," meaning they do not seek to avoid the evil. And then they must suffer the consequences.
It's a relatively simple verse, but one that should guide our actions throughout every day.
