- Proverbs 27:12
A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are punished.
- Amos 5:12-13
For I know your manifold transgressions
And your mighty sins:
Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time,
For it is an evil time.
