Proverbs 22:11-13
GOD’S WORD Translation
11 Whoever loves a pure heart and whoever speaks graciously
has a king as his friend.
12 The Lord’s eyes watch over knowledge,
but he overturns the words of a treacherous person.
13 A lazy person says,
“There’s a lion outside!
I’ll be murdered in the streets!”
