Proverbs 22:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward The wicked, by their evil practices, expose themselves to many dangers, and occasions both of sin and mischief: he that keeps his soul That takes heed to himself, and to his actions, and to the saving of his soul; shall be far from them Will avoid the society of such froward persons; or rather, by that circumspection shall preserve himself from those thorns and snares to which the froward are exposed.
