Proverbs 22:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 The mouth of an adulteress is like a deep hole.
If you make the Lord angry, you will fall into it!
15 Children love to do foolish things.
To stop them, you must warn and punish them.
16 Someone may be cruel to poor people to make himself rich.
Someone else may give gifts to rich people to make them his friends.
But both those people will become poor in the end.
Proverbs 22:14-16
New International Version
14 The mouth of an adulterous woman is a deep pit;(A)
a man who is under the Lord’s wrath falls into it.(B)
15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far away.(C)
16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.
