View Full Chapter
13The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”
14The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit; a man who is under the LORD ’s wrath falls into it.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
16One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
