Proverbs 22:10-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. Cast out the one who ridicules, and conflict will go out with him, and accusations and insults will cease.

11. Whoever loves cleanness of heart, because of the grace of his lips, will have the king as his friend.

12. The eyes of the Lord watch over knowledge. And the words of the iniquitous are supplanted.

13. The lazy one says: "There is a lion outside. I might be slain in the midst of the streets."
