Proverbs 22:12-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

12. The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge. But he does away with the words of those who aren't faithful.

13. People who don't want to work say, "There's a lion outside!" Or they say, "I'll be murdered if I go out into the streets!"

14. The mouth of a woman who commits adultery is like a deep pit. Any man the Lord is angry with will fall into it.

15. A child is going to do foolish things. But correcting him will drive his foolishness far away from him.
