Proverbs 22:12-14

Living Bible

¹² The Lord preserves the upright but ruins the plans^[a] of the wicked.

¹³ The lazy man is full of excuses. “I can’t go to work!” he says. “If I go outside, I might meet a lion in the street and be killed!”

¹⁴ A prostitute is a dangerous trap; those cursed of God are caught in it.
