What does Proverbs 22:12 mean?

God's attention is drawn to those who pursue wisdom and understanding, and he actively protects and supports their growth. At the same time, there's a real consequence for those who turn away from him: their plans and schemes don't ultimately succeed, no matter how clever they seem in the moment. This isn't about God punishing people out of anger, but rather a natural pattern where lives built on deception and unfaithfulness tend to unravel, while those seeking truth find themselves sustained by something larger than themselves.
