Proverbs 22:13-17

Tree of Life Version

¹³ The slacker says, “There’s a lion outside!
I’ll be killed in the streets.”

¹⁴ The mouth of a seducing woman is a deep pit—
into it will fall one with whom Adonai is angry.

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child,
but a rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

¹⁶ The one who oppresses the poor to increase his own gain,
and the one who gives to the rich—both end in poverty.

¹⁷ Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge.
