words of the transgressor.
PR-22:13 The slothful [man] saith, [There is] a lion without, I
shall be

PR-22:14 The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is
abhorred of
the LORD shall fall therein.

the rod of
correction shall drive it far from him.
PR-22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his [riches,
and] he that
giveth to the rich, [shall] surely [come] to want.
PR-22:17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply thine
heart unto my knowledge.
PR-22:18 For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within
thee; they
shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
PR-22:19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known
to thee this
day, even to thee.
PR-22:20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in
counsels and
knowledge,
PR-22:21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words
of truth;
that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send
unto thee?
PR-22:22 Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither
oppress the
afflicted in the gate:
PR-22:23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the
soul of those
that spoiled them.
PR-22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a
furious man thou

them that are
sureties for debts.

thy bed from
under thee?

have set.

stand before
kings; he shall not stand before mean [men].
