Proverbs 22:10-15 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. Cast out the scoffer and strife goes out, And contention and shame cease.

11. He who loves cleanness of heart, Whose speech is pleasant, A sovereign is his friend.

12. The eyes of יהוה shall watch over knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous.

13. The lazy one says, “There is a lion outside! I am going to be killed in the streets!”

14. The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit; The one denounced by יהוה falls in there.

15. Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline drives it far from him.
