Proverbs 22:14

Compare all

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.

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.

Proverbs 22:14

The fall of the man into the snare of the harlot seems to be the consequence of the abhorrence or wrath of Yahweh. That abhorrence is, however, the result of previous evil. The man is left to himself, and sin becomes the penalty of sin.
