Proverbs 22:12-14

Expanded Bible

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]!”

¹⁴ The ·words [^Lmouth] of ·an unfaithful wife [^Lthe strange woman] are like a deep ·trap [pit].
Those who make the Lord angry will ·get caught by them [^Lfall in it].
