Proverbs
Chapters 22:8-14
New International Version Anglicized
8Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity,and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.
9The generous will themselves be blessed,for they share their food with the poor.
10Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;quarrels and insults are ended.
11One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with gracewill have the king for a friend.
12The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
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.
