Proverbs 22:13-15
Wycliffe Bible
13 A slow man shall say (A lazy person shall say), A lion is withoutforth; I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.
14 The mouth of an alien woman is a deep ditch; he to whom the Lord is wroth shall fall into it. (The mouth of a woman whom thou hast been intimate with, but who is not thy wife, is a deep ditch; he to whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.)
15 Folly is bound together in the heart of a child; and a rod of chastising shall drive it away. (Foolishness is bound up in a child’s heart, but the rod of discipline shall drive it away.)
