Proverbs 22:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Whoever loves pure ·thoughts [^Lhearts] and kind ·words [^Llips]
will have even the king as a friend.

¹² The eyes of the Lord guard knowledge,
but he ·destroys [frustrates] ·false words [^Lthe words of the untrustworthy/faithless].

¹³ The lazy person says, “There’s a lion outside!
I might get killed out in the ·street [middle of the public square]!”
