Proverbs 22:13

Work

11 He who loves a pure heart and gracious lips will have the king for a friend.

12 The LORD’s eyes keep watch over knowledge, but He frustrates the words of the faithless.

The slacker says, “There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!”

14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.

15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
