Proverbs 22:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ The mouth of the forbidden woman is a deep pit;
a man cursed by the Lord will fall into it.^(A)

¹⁵ Foolishness is bound to the heart of a youth;
a rod of discipline will separate it from him.^(B)

¹⁶ Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself,
and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.^(C)
