Proverbs 22:11-14

English Standard Version

¹¹ He who ^(A)loves purity of heart,
    and whose ^(B)speech is gracious, ^(C)will have the king as his friend.
¹² The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
    but he ^(D)overthrows the words of the traitor.
^13 (E)The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!
    I shall be killed in the streets!”
¹⁴ The mouth of ^(F)forbidden^[a] women is ^(G)a deep pit;
    ^(H)he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.
