Proverbs 22:5-14
New International Version
5 In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,(A)
but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.
6 Start(B) children off on the way they should go,(C)
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.(D)
7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
10 Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;
quarrels and insults are ended.(I)
11 One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace
will have the king for a friend.(J)
12 The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13 The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!(K)
I’ll be killed in the public square!”
