Proverbs 22:15

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁴ The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit;
He who is cursed of the Lord will fall into it.
¹⁵ Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.
¹⁶ He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself
Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
