Proverbs 22:4-6 NWT
. . .The result of humility [and] the fear of Jehovah is riches and glory and life. 5 Thorns [and] traps are in the way of the crooked one; he that is guarding his soul keeps far away from them. 6 Train up a boy according to the way for him; even when he grows old he will not turn aside from it.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
