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.
Proverbs 22:12-14
New International Version
12 The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!(A)
I’ll be killed in the public square!”
