Proverbs 22:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² The Lord watches over everyone
    who shows good sense,
but he frustrates the plans
    of deceitful liars.
¹³ Don't be so lazy that you say,
“If I go to work,
    a lion will eat me!”
¹⁴ The words of a bad woman
    are like a deep pit;
if you make the Lord angry,
    you will fall right in.
