    but the foolish goes head into it and will suffer.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The wise person recognizes early on
    that trouble is coming and [he] is spared,
    But people who do not realize anything
    continue going on the same path
    and get into trouble.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “A wise man avoids/stays-away if he meets disaster, but a man who has no wisdom does- not -avoid/stay-away, therefore he suffers.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “The circumspect (person), he can-see a problem that will-arrive and avoid-it, but the one who knows nothing is reckless/impetuous, so he experiences hardship.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

    those who do not have good sense just keep going and later they will suffer because of doing that.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
