Proverbs 22:12

Compare all

10 ^aCast out the scoffer, and contention will leave;
Yes, strife and reproach will cease.

11 ^aHe who loves purity of heart
And has grace on his lips,
The king will be his friend.

12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge,
But He overthrows the words of the faithless.

13 ^aThe lazy man says, “There is a lion outside!
I shall be slain in the streets!”

14 ^aThe mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;
^bHe who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.
