The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.
The prudent person looks well to his going, carefully considering where and how he is going and where his actions will lead, exercising good judgment in practical matters rather than rushing ahead. Such prudence includes taking reasonable precautions against dangers that can be foreseen. Moving quickly without care is unsafe and can lead to stumbling and falling. Trusting God does not mean acting presumptuously or neglecting what people can and should do.
