Proverbs 22:13 (WEB)
Context Reading
11He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefullyis the king’s friend. 12Yahweh’s eyes watch over knowledge,but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!I will be killed in the streets!” 14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit.He who is under Yahweh’s wrath will fall into it. 15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child;the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
