Proverbs 22:13-18 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

13. The slothful man says, There is a lion outside, I shall be slain in the streets.

14. The mouth of immoral women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

15. Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

16. He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to the rich, shall surely come to poverty.

17. Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.

18. For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; they shall all be fitted on your lips.
