Proverbs 22:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 A deep pit is the mouth of an adulteress,[a]
he with whom Yahweh is angry will fall there.
15 Folly is bound up in the heart[b] of a boy;[c]
the rod of discipline will drive it[d] from him.
16 He who oppresses the poor in order to enrich himself,
or gives to the rich, will come to poverty.[e]
