Proverbs 22:13-15
The Message
13 The loafer says, “There’s a lion on the loose!
If I go out I’ll be eaten alive!”
14 The mouth of a prostitute is a bottomless pit;
you’ll fall in that pit if you’re on the outs with God.
15 Young people are prone to foolishness and fads;
the cure comes through tough-minded discipline.
Proverbs 22:13-15
New International Version
13 The sluggard says, “There’s a lion outside!(A)
I’ll be killed in the public square!”
14 The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;(B)
a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.(C)
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.(D)
