Proverbs 22:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and him who has it, but He overthrows the words of the treacherous.

¹³ The sluggard says, There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!

¹⁴ The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit [for ensnaring wild animals]; he with whom the Lord is indignant and who is abhorrent to Him will fall into it.
