Proverbs 22:15

Compare all

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.

15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
^aThe rod of correction will drive it far from him.

16 He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,
And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.
