Proverbs 22:5

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward; the wicked by their evil courses expose themselves to many dangers and occasions both of sin and mischief. He that doth keep his soul, that taketh heed to himself, and to his actions, and to the saving of his life and soul, shall be far from them; either,

1. Will avoid the society of such froward persons. Or,

2. Shall by that circumspection preserve himself from those thorns, &c., with which the pronoun them agrees in number.
