Proverbs 22:12-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
12
The eyes of the
Lord
protect knowledge,
But He overthrows the words of the treacherous person.
13
The lazy one says, 'There is a lion outside;
I will be killed in the streets!'
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
One who oppresses the poor to make more for himself,
Or
gives to the rich,
will
only
come
to poverty.
17
Extend your ear and hear the words of the wise,
And apply your mind to my knowledge;
18
For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
So that they may be ready on your lips.
King James Version
Chapter 22
12
The eyes of the
Lord
preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13
The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14
The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the
Lord
shall fall therein.
15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
12
The
Lord
’s eyes keep watch over knowledge,
but he overthrows the words of the treacherous.
13
The slacker says, "There’s a lion outside!
I’ll be killed in the public square!"
14
The mouth of the forbidden woman is a deep pit;
a man cursed by the
Lord
will fall into it.
15
Foolishness is bound to the heart of a youth;
a rod of discipline will separate it from him.
16
Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself,
and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.
17
Listen closely, pay attention to the words of the wise,
and apply your mind to my knowledge.
18
For it is pleasing if you keep them within you
and if they are constantly on your lips.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
12
The
Lord
preserves those with knowledge,
but he ruins the plans of the treacherous.
13
The lazy person claims, 'There’s a lion out there!
If I go outside, I might be killed!'
14
The mouth of an immoral woman is a dangerous trap;
those who make the
Lord
angry will fall into it.
15
A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness,
but physical discipline will drive it far away.
16
A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor
or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty.
17
Listen to the words of the wise;
apply your heart to my instruction.
18
For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart
and always ready on your lips.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
12

Lord
keep watch over knowledge,
but he overthrows the words of the traitor.
13
The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!
I shall be killed in the streets!"
14
The mouth of forbidden women is a deep pit;
he with whom the
Lord
is angry will fall into it.
15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
16
Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,
or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
17
Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge,
18
for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
if all of them are ready on your lips.
New International Version
Chapter 22
12
The eyes of the
Lord
keep watch over knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
13
The sluggard says, "There’s a lion outside!
I’ll be killed in the public square!"
14
The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;
a man who is under the
Lord
’s wrath falls into it.
15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.
16
One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
17
Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise;
apply your heart to what I teach,
18
for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips.
New King James Version

12
The eyes of the

13
The lazy
man
says, “
There is
a lion outside!
I shall be slain in the streets!”
14
The mouth of an immoral woman
is
a deep pit;
He who is abhorred by the
Lord
will fall there.
15
Foolishness
is
bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.
16
He who oppresses the poor to increase his
riches,
And
he who gives to the rich,
will
surely
come
to poverty.
17

And apply your heart to my knowledge;
18
For
it is
a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;
Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
