Proverbs 22:13-15

The Voice

¹³ A lazy person says, “A lion! Right outside!
    I will surely die in the streets!
    Yet another good reason to stay in today.”
¹⁴ The alluring words of a seductive woman are a deep hole;
    the Eternal is incensed toward those who fall in.
¹⁵ Foolishness consumes the heart of a child,
    but corporal punishment, properly administered, drives it far away.
