Proverbs 22:12-14
International Standard Version
12 The Lord watches over anyone with knowledge,
but he ruins the plans[a] of the unfaithful.
13 The lazy person says, “There is a lion outside!
I will be killed in the street!”
14 The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;
a man experiencing the Lord’s wrath will fall into it.
