Proverbs 22:25
or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
BSB
ASV
Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul.
KJV
Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
Lest thou learn his ways,.... And be as wrathful and furious, as quarrelsome and contentious, as he is.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
