Proverbs 22:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ He that loveth the cleanness of heart, shall have the king (for) a friend, for the grace of his lips (for the eloquence of his words).

¹² The eyes of the Lord keep knowing; and the words of a wicked man be deceived. (The eyes of the Lord keep knowledge safe; but the words of the wicked be deceitful.)

¹³ A slow man shall say (A lazy person shall say), A lion is withoutforth; I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.
