Proverbs 22:11-13

American Standard Version

¹¹ He that loveth ^[a]pureness of heart,
^[b]For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.
¹² The eyes of Jehovah preserve him that hath knowledge;
But he overthroweth the words of the treacherous man.
¹³ The sluggard saith, There is a lion without;
I shall be slain in the streets.
