Proverbs 22:14-16

New King James Version

¹⁴^(A)The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;
^(B)He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.

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

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

Proverbs 22:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;^(A)
a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.^(B)

¹⁵Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.^(C)

¹⁶One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
