Proverbs 22:14-16

Darby Translation

¹⁴The mouth of strange women is a deep ditch: he with whom Jehovah is displeased shall fall therein.

¹⁵Folly is bound in the heart of a child; the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

¹⁶He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, [bringeth] only to want.

Proverbs 22:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;^(A)
a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.^(B)

¹⁵Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.^(C)

¹⁶One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
