Proverbs 22:13-18

¹³The slothful man saith, “There is a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets.”

¹⁴The mouth of strange women is a deep pit; He with whom the LORD is angry shall fall therein.

¹⁵Folly is bound to the heart of a child; But the rod of correction will drive it far from him.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor to increase his wealth, And he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

¹⁷Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And give heed to my instruction!

¹⁸For it will be a pleasant thing, if thou keep them in thy bosom, When they are altogether established upon thy lips.
