English Translation
Be careful.
What is the verb here? It looks like “vorsehen”, but according to google, that means to provide or to plan or to schedule something. I don’t see how this means “Be careful”.

The second entry for vorsehen on Wordreference says:
- II v/r be careful, watch out (bei jemandem with sb);
sich vorsehen, dass man nicht ausrutscht etc be careful (oder take care) not to slip etc;
sieh dich (bloß) vor! Warnung:
watch out!, be careful!; Drohung:(just) watch yourself (oder it)!

Ah, okay, I see it on dict.cc also: dict.cc | vorsehen | English Dictionary
Interesting that google translate didn’t list that as a definition for me. I’ve got to stop relying on google translate for stuff like this!

I think both meanings of “vorsehen” are connected.
It is not a big step from “have a plan” or “provide for future events” to “be careful”.
