English Standard Version

12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. (Pr 1:4; Pr 22:3)

New International Version

12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

New International Reader’s Version

12 Wise people see danger and go to a safe place. But childish people keep on going and suffer for it.

12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
