Proverbs 22:14-23

¹⁴The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit: he whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.

¹⁵Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of correction shall drive it away.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor, to increase his own riches, shall himself give to one that is richer, and shall be in need.

¹⁷Incline thy ear, and hear the words of the wise: and apply thy heart to my doctrine:

¹⁸Which shall be beautiful for thee, if thou keep it in thy bowels, and it shall flow in thy lips:

¹⁹That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day.

²⁰Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge:

²¹That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee.

²²Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate:

²³Because the Lord will judge his cause, and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul.
