Proverbs 22:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge.
    But he does away with the words of those who aren’t faithful.

¹³ People who don’t want to work say, “There’s a lion outside!”
    Or they say, “I’ll be murdered if I go out into the streets!”

¹⁴ The mouth of a woman who commits adultery is like a deep pit.
    Any man the Lord is angry with falls into it.
