Proverbs
Chapters 22:13-19
New International Version Anglicized
13The sluggard says, ‘There’s a lion outside!I’ll be killed in the public square!’
14The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
16One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealthand one who gives gifts to the rich – both come to poverty.Saying 1
17Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise;apply your heart to what I teach,
18for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heartand have all of them ready on your lips.
19So that your trust may be in the Lord,I teach you today, even you.
