צִנִּ֣ים פַּ֭חִים בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עִקֵּ֑שׁ שׁוֹמֵ֥ר נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ יִרְחַ֥ק מֵהֶֽם׃
Espinas y lazos hay en el camino del perverso: El que guarda su alma se alejará de ellos.
Rashi on Proverbs
Troops [and] snares Heb. צנים, as in (Num. 33:55) “troops (לצנינים) in your sides”; (Ezek. 23: 24) “And they will come upon you, a band (הצן),” an expression of bands and brigands.
Rashi on Proverbs
Troops and snares are hidden on the ways of the one who perverts his ways; i.e., torments are prepared for him.
Rashi on Proverbs
he who preserves his soul will distance himself from them He who is upright in his deeds will be saved from them.
