Proverbs 22:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ People who don’t want to work say, “There’s a lion outside!”
    Or they say, “I’ll be murdered if I go out into the streets!”

¹⁴ The mouth of a woman who commits adultery is like a deep pit.
    Any man the Lord is angry with falls into it.

¹⁵ Children are going to do foolish things.
    But correcting them will drive that foolishness far away.
